I've been looking at utilizing the services option on a Cisco 7960 IP phone running ver 3-7-5. I am using a broadsoft platform, (not running Cisco Call Manager). Does anyone have any experience/information on how to configure this feature? I know I need to go into the appropriate cnf file to point the,"services_url" to a specific location, but I can't find any examples on what it needs to get. Any help is appreciated.

While not a direct answer you can do a google search and find a pretty good amount of information on the subject (I googled cisco 7960 and service_url). This has lots of bits and pieces:

If you're using Perl then look into Cisco::IPPhone. I know I haven't given you any direct answers but I hope this has been helpful. I haven't found anything directly related to services_url other than seeming to say that the apps run on a server (like Apache, written in Perl, PHP, Java or JSP) and return XML.

I've managed to get my hands on a 7960 and I have the services_url work quite well. I've included it here for your enjoyment. ;-)

# Custom Logo
# The logo has to meet some specific characteristics. See the Cisco site for details.
#
# The background space allocated for the image is 90 x 56
# pixels. Images that are larger than this will automatically be scaled
# down to 90 x 56 pixels. The recommended file size for the image is
# from 5 to 15 Kb. For example, use
#
#    logo_url: "http://10.10.10.10/companylogo.bmp"
#
# Note This parameter supports Windows 256 color bitmap format
# only. CMXML PhoneImage objects are not supported for this
# parameter. Using anything other than a Windows bitmap (.bmp) file can
# cause unpredictable results.
#
# Place the logo in /var/www/asterisk. Reference the logo in
# /tftpboot/SIPDefault.cnf or /tftpboot/SIP000xxxxxxxxx.cnf by editing
# or adding the logo_url parameter:
#
#    logo_url: "http://192.168.77.4/adisterisk/asterisk-tux.bmp"
#
# URL for external Directory location
# I haven't set these up yet

I also have sample .xml files and a perl weather scrip that work also. Some of the Cisco XML I found on the web does not work depending whether you have the SIP image or something else.
