Chapter 5 Configuring Features, Templates, Services, and Users
Setting Up Services
It is recommended that you use the standard softkey template which excludes features already assigned
to programmable buttons and limits the feature set to the most commonly used ones. This template
reduces the number of softkeys displayed on the phone at one time, eliminating the need for users to
press the more softkey. For more information, see Modifying Phone Button Templates, page 5-18.
To configure softkey templates, choose Device > Device Settings > Softkey Template from
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. To assign a softkey template to a phone, use
the Softkey Template field in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Phone
Configuration window. Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide and
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for more information.
Note The Cisco IP Phone 7906G and 7911G support all softkeys that are configurable in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration, except for the following:
• Hold
• Resume
Setting Up Services
The Services button on the Cisco Unified IP Phone gives users access to Cisco Unified IP Phone
Services. These services comprise XML applications that enable the display of interactive content with
text and graphics on the phone. Examples of services include local movie times, stock quotes, and
weather reports.
Before a user can access any service:
• You must use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to configure available
services.
• The user must subscribe to services by using Cisco Unified CM User Options. This web-based
application provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for limited, end-user configuration of IP Phone
applications.
Before you set up services, gather the URLs for the sites that you want to set up and verify that users can
access those sites from your corporate IP telephony network.
To set up these services, choose Feature > Cisco Unified IP Phone Services from
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. Refer to Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Administration Guide and Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for more
information.
After you configure these services, verify that your users have access to the Cisco Unified CM User
Options web pages, from which they can select and subscribe to configured services. See Appendix A,
Providing Information to Usersfor a summary of the information that you must provide to end users.
Cisco Unified IP phones can support up to four HTTP/HTTPS active client connections and up to four
HTTP/HTTPS active server connections at one time. A few examples of HTTP/HTTPS services include:
• Extension Mobility
• Directories
• Messages
