Defining IP Phone Service Parameters in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration
Each service can have a list of parameters. You can use these parameters, which
are appended to the URL when they are sent to the server, to personalize a service
for an individual user. Examples of parameters include stock ticker symbols, city
names, or user IDs. The service provider defines the semantics of a parameter.
The Cisco Unified IP Phone Service Parameter Configuration page in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration contains the following
fields:

check box in the Configure Cisco Unified IP Phone Service Parameter window
in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
