Cisco Systems 7970G manual Creating Custom Background Images, List.xml File Format Requirements

Chapter 6 Customizing the Cisco Unified IP Phone

Creating Custom Background Images

Step 4 Save your modifications and close the Ringlist.xml file.

Step 5 To cache the new Ringlist.xml file, stop and start the TFTP service by using Cisco Unified CallManager Serviceability or disable and re-enable the “Enable Caching of Constant and Bin Files at Startup” TFTP service parameter (located in the Advanced Service Parameters).

Creating Custom Background Images

You can provide users with a choice of custom background images for the LCD screen on their phones. Users can select a background image by choosing Settings > User Preferences > Background Images on the phone.

The image choices that users see come from PNG images and an XML file (called List.xml) that are stored on the TFTP server used by the phone. By storing your own PNG files and editing the XML file on the TFTP server, you can designate the background images from which users can choose. In this way, you can provide custom images, such as your company logo.

The following sections describe how you can customize the background images that are available at your site by creating your own PNG files and editing the List.xml file:

•List.xml File Format Requirements, page 6-5.

•PNG File Requirements for Custom Background Images, page 6-6.

•Configuring a Custom Background Image, page 6-7

List.xml File Format Requirements

The List.xml file defines an XML object that contains a list of background images. The List.xml file is stored in the following folder on the TFTP server:

Tip If you are manually creating the directory structure and the List.xml file, you must ensure that the directories and files can be accessed by the user\CCMService, which is used by the TFTP service.
