Cisco IP Phone Services Configuration
Using the Cisco CallManager Administration, you define and maintain the list of Cisco IP Phone Services to which users can subscribe at their site. Cisco IP Phone Services comprise XML applications that enable the display of interactive content with text and graphics on Cisco IP Phones 7960/7940.
Cisco CallManager provides sample Cisco IP Phone Services applications. You can also create customized Cisco IP phone applications for your site.
Once you configure the list of services, you can add services to the phones in the database. You can view and modify settings for phones and device profiles in the Cisco CallManager Administration. Users can log on to the Cisco CallManager user preferences window and subscribe to these services for their Cisco IP phones.

Adding a Cisco IP Phone Service
Perform the following steps to add a Cisco IP Phone Service.

Step 3 Click Update to add the service.
