Chapter 6 IP Phone Service Administration and Subscription
Defining IP Phone Service Parameters in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
Defining IP Phone Service Parameters in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration
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 following
fields:

check box in the Configure Cisco Unified IP Phone Service Parameter window
in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
