You can modify configuration files (for example, edit the xml files) and add
customized files (for example, custom ring tones, call back tones, phone
backgrounds) to the TFTP directory. You can modify files and add customized
files to the TFTP directory in Cisco IPT Platform Administration, from the TFTP
Server File Upload page. Refer to Cisco IP Telephony Platform Administration
Guide for information about how to upload files to the TFTP folder on a
Cisco Unified CallManager server.
