Chapter 9 IP Phone Service Administration and Subscription
Defining IP Phone Service Parameters
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
M
anager Administration contains the fields as described in Table 9-2.
Enable Select this check box to enable the service, or clear the check box to
d
isable 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
d
evices 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.

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.
