Field		Description
Enable		Select this check box to enable the service, or clear the check box to
		disable the service without deleting it.
		Note You cannot delete default services. Use this field if a default
		service exists, but you do not want to make it available for
		subscription.
Enterprise Subscriptions		Select this check box to automatically provision the new service to all
		devices in the enterprise without requiring individual subscription. If
		this option is selected, the service automatically gets provisioned and
		does not get presented for user subscription.
		Note Be aware that this check box is available for selection only
		when the service is created. You cannot modify it.

Defining IP Phone Service Parameters

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 fields as described in Table 9-2.

Description

Service Parameter Information

Parameter Name	Enter the exact query string parameter to use when you build the
	subscription URL; for example, symbol.
Parameter Display Name	Enter a descriptive parameter name to display to the user in Cisco Unified
	CM User Options; for example, Ticker Symbol.
Default Value	Enter the default value for the parameter. This value displays to the user
	when a service is being subscribed to for the first time; for example,
	CSCO.
Parameter Description	Enter a description of the parameter. The user can access the text that is
	entered here while the user is subscribing to the service. The parameter
	description should provide information or examples to help users input
	the correct value for the parameter.
Parameter is Required	If the user must enter data for this parameter before the subscription can
	be saved, check the Parameter is Required check box.
Parameter is a Password	You can mask entries in Cisco Unified CM User Options, so asterisks
(mask contents)	display rather than the actual user entry. You may want to do this for
	parameters such as passwords that you do not want others to be able to
	view. To mask parameter entry, select the Parameter is a Password (mask
	contents) check box in the Configure IP phone service Parameter window
	in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
