IP Phone Service Administration and
Subscription
Cisco Unified Communications Manager administrators maintain the list of services to which users can
subscribe. Administrators must use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to add and
administer Cisco Unified IP Phone services.
Note This chapter provides just a brief overview about managing IP Phone services. For detailed up-to-date
instructions, refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide available at the
following URL:

Accessing Phone Service Administration
To access phone service administration, open Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
and choose Device > Device Settings > Phone Services:
• Phone services can have any number of parameters associated with them.
• You can specify phone service parameters as optional or required, depending on how the phone
service application defines them.
• Users can subscribe to any service configured in their cluster, using their User Options web pages.
• Service subscriptions currently occur on a device basis.
A URL constitutes the core of each service. When a service is chosen from the menu, the URL gets
requested via HTTP, and a server somewhere provides the content. The Service URL field shows this
URL entry. For the services to be available, the phones in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
cluster must have network connectivity to the server.
