Ouvrage 9781587050602 : DEVELOPING CISCO IP PHONE SERVICES: A CISCO AVVID SOLUTION
Create applications that deliver interactive content to Cisco IP Phones
* Learn information and techniques vital to building and integrating
third-party services for Cisco IP Phones
* Understand the development process using XML and HTTP client and
server applications to successfully build a service
* Discover advanced services information about objects, advanced
runtime generation, and other XML development tools
* Utilize the provided CallManager Simulator to support an IP phone
for development purposes
* Get the most out of your IP phone systems with strategies and
solutions direct from the Cisco team
Services on Cisco IP Phones help you enhance productivity, gain the
competitive advantage, and even help generate revenue. Services are
simply applications that run on the phone rather than on a PC or a Web
browser. By developing services tailored to your particular needs, you
can achieve unlimited goals.
Cisco AVVID IP Telephony provides an end-to-end Voice over IP solution
for enterprises. Part of that solution are Cisco IP Phones, a family of
Internet Protocol-based phones. Cisco IP Phones feature a large display,
an XML micro-browser capable of retrieving content from Web servers, and
the ability to deploy custom services tailored to your organization's or
enterprise's needs.
Developing Cisco IP Phone Services uses detailed code samples to explain
the tools and processes used to develop custom phone services. You'll
learn about XML, CallManager, Cisco IP Phones, and the history behind
why Cisco chose XML to deploy phone services. You'll find detailed
information to help you learn how to build a service, how to build
adirectory, and how to integrate your service with Cisco CallManager.
This book complements and expands on the information provided in the
Cisco IP Phone Services Software Developer's Kit (SDK). With the
information in this book, you can maximize your productivity using the
tools provided in the SDK and the custom tools provided on the companion
CD-ROM. Beginner and advanced service developers alike benefit from the
information in this book. Developing Cisco IP Phone Services represents
the most comprehensive resource available for developing services for
Cisco IP Phones.
Companion CD-ROM
The CD-ROM contains the sample services that are covered in the book,
develop-ment utilities from the Cisco IP Phone Services SDK, and new
tools written specifically for this book such as XML Validator. One of
the most useful applications on the CD-ROM is the CallManager Simulator
(CM-Sim). CM-Sim significantly lowers the requirements for service
development. You only need a Windows-based PC with CM-Sim and a Web
server running, and one Cisco IP Phone 7940 or 7960.
