Customizing the Cisco Unified IP Phone

Configuring the Idle Display

•

Advertise G.722 Codec—From Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose

Device > Phone

. The default value for this product-specific parameter is the value that is 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.

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.

Formatting an image for display on the phone.

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
