Configuring the Idle Display

Chapter 6 Customizing the Cisco Unified IP Phone

can be heard by the far endpoint—noise such as rustling papers or nearby conversations. Even without a wideband headset, some users may prefer the additional sensitivity of G.722. Other users may be distracted by the additional sensitivity of G.722.

Note The phone does not support wideband handset.

The following parameters in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration affect whether wideband is supported for this Cisco Unified Communications Manager server and a specific phone:

•Advertise G.722 Codec—From Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose System > Enterprise Parameters. The default value of this enterprise parameter is True, which means that all Cisco Unified IP Phone Models 7931G, 7941G, 7941G-GE, 7961G, 7961G-GE, 7970G, and 7971G-GE that are registered to this Cisco Unified Communications Manager will advertise G.722 to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. If each endpoint in the attempted call supports G.722 in its capabilities set, Cisco Unified Communications Manager chooses that codec for the call.

•Advertise G.722 Codec—From Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose Device > Phone. The default value of this product-specific parameter is to use the value specified in the enterprise parameter. If you want to override this on a per-phone basis, choose Enabled or Disabled in the Advertise G.722 Codec parameter on the Product Specific Configuration area of the Phone Configuration window.

You can specify an idle display that appears on the phone screen. The idle display is an XML service that the phone invokes when the phone has been idle (not in use) for a designated period and no feature menu is open.

XML services that can be used as idle displays include company logos, product pictures, and stock quotes.

Configuring the idle display consists of these general steps.

1.Formatting an image for display on the phone.

2.Configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager to display the image on the phone.
