Configure Phone Services for Users
You can give users access to Cisco IP Phone Services on the IP phone. You can also assign a button to different
phone services. These services comprise XML applications and Cisco-signed Java midlets that enable the
display of interactive content with text and graphics on the phone. The IP phone manages each service as a
separate application. Examples of services include local movie times, stock quotes, and weather reports.
Before a user can access any service:
•
You must use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to configure services that are
not present by default.
•
The user must subscribe to services by using the Cisco Unified Communications Self Care Portal. This
web-based application provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for limited, end-user configuration of
IP phone applications. However, a user cannot subscribe to any service that you configure as an enterprise
subscription.
For more information, see the documentation for your particular Cisco Unified Communications Manager
release.
Before you set up services, gather the URLs for the sites that you want to set up and verify that users can
access those sites from your corporate IP telephony network. This activity is not applicable for the default
services that Cisco provides.
Procedure
Step 1
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose Device > Device Settings > Phone
Services
Step 2
Verify that your users can access the Cisco Unified Communications Self Care Portal, from which they can
select and subscribe to configured services.
See Self Care Portal Management, on page 79 for a summary of the information that you must provide to
end users.
