Overview

You can use Cisco Unified IP Phones to deploy customized client services with which users can interact via the keypad and display. Services deploy using the HTTP protocol from standard web servers.

Users access these features using the services and directories buttons or menu options (availability varies by phone model). When a user presses the services button (or chooses the services menu item), a menu of configured services displays. The user then chooses a service from the list, and the phone displays the service.

The following list gives typical services that might be supplied to a phone:

Weather

Stock information

Contact information

Company news

To-do lists

Daily schedule
