Free XML Services
We have many free XML services available. Please see the list below.
*Please note, these services are not supported by CDW Berbee's Technical Support Services.
| Service Name | Service URL and Description |
| Main Menu | http://phone-xml.berbee.com/menu.xml Point your CallManager here for all services hosted on this machine. The text and images you see are rendered dynamically as you request them. Optional: use the "opts" parameter to determine which options your users see. For example, http://phone-xml.berbee.com/menu.xml?opts=123 would only show options 1, 2, and 3. |
| FAA Airport Delay Check | http://phone-xml.berbee.com/cgi-bin/airport.pl See FAA-forecasted delay times for 40 hub airports around the country. |
| Dane County Truax Field Arrivals/Departures | http://phone-xml.berbee.com/cgi-bin/msnairport.pl Here in Madison, the local airport displays arrivals and departures on a web interface in the terminal. We take advantage of that. |
| North American Numbering Plan area code lookup | http://phone-xml.berbee.com/cgi-bin/area_code.pl Given an area code, display the geographic area where it's from. |
| Local weather by ZIP code | http://phone-xml.berbee.com/cgi-bin/weather.pl Get weather by ZIP code from Weather.com |
| Stock quotes | http://phone-xml.berbee.com/cgi-bin/stockchk.pl Watch your favorite (or not so favorite) stocks. |
| News (RSS) Feeds | http://phone-xml.berbee.com/rss/items.php View a wide variety of news summaries available online. You'll need to configure your subscription to include a parameter "url" that specifies where the RSS feed can be found. Our main menu, above, offers CNN and BBC top stories as examples. |
What Do I Need to Run These Services?
You'll need CallManager 3.05 or greater (earlier versions didn't support the XML services interface), as well as the 7940 or 7960 IP phone. In most cases you can also use a 7905, 7912 or 7970.
You'll also need to configure your CallManager.
If your IP phones are behind a proxy server of almost any sort, this program and configuration should work for you.
