Adding a Phone Service

• 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.

Example

http://<servername>/ccmuser/sample/sample.asp

Where

<servername> designates a fully qualified domain name or an IP address.

Adding a Phone Service
