Loading Customized Background Images on Phones

Creating the images

Each background image requires two PNG files:

• Full size image—Version that appears on the on the phone.
• Thumbnail image—Version that appears on the Background Images screen from which users can select an image. It must be 2 5% of "he size of the full size image.

The PNG files for background images must meet the requirements for proper display on the Cisco Unified IP Phone (see table below). You can use MS Paint and MS Office Picture Manager to create images.

Phone Model	Full-Size Image	Thumbnail Image	TFTP Directory
7941/7961	320x196	80x49	Desktops/320x196x4
7942/7962	320x196	80x49	Desktops/320xl96x4
7945/7965	320x212	80x53	Desktops/320x212xl6
7970/7971	320x212	80x53	Desktops/320x212xl2
7975	320x216	80x53	Desktops/320x216x16

Creating the List.xml file

The List.xml file defines an XML object that contains a list of background images. The

List.xml file is case sensitive and stored in the same TFTP directory as the images it is

listing on the TFTP server.

List.xml Example:

<CiscoIPPhoneImageList>
<ImageItem Image="TFTP:Desktops/320x212x12/TN-velara.png" URL="TFTP:Desktops/320x212x12/velara.png"/>
</CiscoIPPhoneImageList>

Making the File Available

Once you have the image files and the List.xml file, you need to upload the files to the TFTP

directory specified in the above table in each TFTP server manually.

Once you upload everything, you will need to restart the TFTP service so that the files are

uploaded for the IP phones.

PROCEDURE STEPS:

• Download and Edit the List.xml file for the right format, e.g.:

(from windows CMD) tftp 10.179.168.15 get Desktops/320x216x16/List.xml

Transfer successful: 474 bytes in 1 second, 474 bytes/s

• Log in OS Administration
