Chapter 6 IP Phone Service Administration and Subscription
Adding a Phone Service
Tip • You can insert, update, or delete a service definition.
• After a service is inserted, you can insert, update, or delete service parameter
definitions.
• When you delete a Cisco Unified IP Phone subscription,
Cisco Unified Communications Manager removes all service information,
user subscriptions, and user subscription data from the database.
• The Update Subscriptions button rebuilds all user subscriptions if the
service has been modified after subscriptions exist.
Service URL Enter the URL of the server where the Cisco Unified IP Phone Services
application is located. Make sure that this server remains independent of the
servers in your Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster. Do not specify
a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server or any server that is
associated with Cisco Unified Communications Manager (such as a TFTP
server or directory database publisher server).
For the services to be available, the phones in the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster must have network
connectivity to the server.
When defining the service URL, you can embed a special #DEVICENAME#
substitution tag within the URL. This tag provides a convenient method for IP
phones to pass their device name to a web application server. For example, if a
service URL was defined in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Admin
as:
http://myserver/myscript?name=#DEVICENAME# , when a phone actually
makes the HTTP request for the service, the requested URL will appear as:
http://myserver/myscript?name=SEP000123456789
Character Set If you are using a language other than English for Service Name and
Description, choose the character set for that language. Text that is input by the
user displays incorrectly if the wrong character set is chosen.
