Chapter 9 IP Phone Service Administration and Subscription

Defining IP Phone Service Parameters

Table 9-1

IP Phone Service Configuration Settings (continued)

 

 

 

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.

Table 9-2

IP Phone Service Parameter Settings

Field

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.
