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 8-2 IP Phone Service Parameter Settings

OL-18696-01
Description
Select this check box to enable the service, or clear the check box to
disable the service without deleting it.
You cannot delete default services. Use this field if a default
Note
service exists, but you do not want to make it available for
subscription.
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.
Be aware that this check box is available for selection only
Note
when the service is created. You cannot modify it.
Description
Enter the exact query string parameter to use when you build the
subscription URL; for example, symbol.
Enter a descriptive parameter name to display to the user in Cisco Unified
CM User Options; for example, Ticker Symbol.
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.
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.
If the user must enter data for this parameter before the subscription can
be saved, check the Parameter is Required check box.
You can mask entries in Cisco Unified CM User Options, so asterisks
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.
