Configuring the Idle Display

Configuring the Idle Display

You can specify an idle display that appears on the phone LCD 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.

For detailed instructions about creating and displaying the idle display, refer to Creating Idle URL Graphics on Cisco Unified IP Phone at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/788/AVVID/idle-url.html

In addition, you can refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide or to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide for the following information:

Specifying the URL of the idle display XML service:

For a single phone—Idle field on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Phone Configuration window

For multiple phones simultaneously—URL Idle field on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Enterprise Parameters Configuration window, or the Idle field in the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT)

Specifying the length of time that the phone is not used before the idle display XML service is invoked:

For a single phone—Idle Timer field on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Phone Configuration window

For multiple phones simultaneously—URL Idle Time field on the

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Enterprise Parameters Configuration window, or the Idle Timer field in the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT)

From a phone, you can see settings for the idle display XML service URL and the length of time that the phone is not used before this service is invoked. To see these settings, choose Settings > Device Configuration and scroll to the Idle URL and the Idle URL Time parameters.

Automatically Disabling the Cisco Unified IP Phone Touchscreen

To conserve power and ensure the longevity of the LCD screen on the phone, you can set the LCD to turn off when it is not needed.

You can configure settings in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to turn off the display at a designated time on some days and all day on other days. For example, you may choose to turn off the display after business hours on weekdays and all day on Saturdays and Sundays.

When the display is off, the LCD screen is dark and disabled, and the Display button lights. You can take any of these actions to turn on the display any time it is off:

Press any button on the phone.
