Chapter 6 Customizing the Cisco Unified IP Phone Creating Custom Background Images PCM File Requirements for Custom Ring Types The PCM files for the rings must meet the following requirements for proper playback on Cisco Unified IP Phones: • Raw PCM (no header) • 8000 samples per second • 8 bits per sample • uLaw compression • Maximum ring size-16080 samples • Minimum ring size-240 samples • Number of samples in the ring is evenly divisible by 240. • Ring starts and ends at the zero crossing. • To create PCM files for custom phone rings, you can use any standard audio editing packages that supports these file format requirements. Configuring a Custom Phone Ring To create custom phone rings for the Cisco Unified IP Phone, follow these steps: Procedure Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Create a PCM file for each custom ring (one ring per file). Ensure the PCM files comply with the format guidelines that are listed in the PCM File Requirements for Custom Ring Types, page 6-3. Place the new PCM files that you created to the Cisco TFTP server for each Cisco Unified Communications Manager in your cluster. For more information, see the Software Upgrades in Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide. Use a text editor to edit the Ringlist.xml file. See Ringlist.xml File Format Requirements, page 6-2 for information about how to format this file and for a sample Ringlist.xml file. Save your modifications and close the Ringlist.xml file. To cache the new Ringlist.xml file, stop and start the TFTP service by using Cisco Unified 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 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. OL-23092-01 Cisco Unified IP Phone Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.5 6-3

Chapter 6

Customizing the Cisco Unified IP Phone

Creating Custom Background Images

PCM File Requirements for Custom Ring Types

The PCM files for the rings must meet the following requirements for proper playback on

Cisco Unified IP Phones:

•

Raw PCM (no header)

•

8000 samples per second

•

8 bits per sample

•

uLaw compression

•

Maximum ring size—16080 samples

•

Minimum ring size—240 samples

•

Number of samples in the ring is evenly divisible by 240.

•

Ring starts and ends at the zero crossing.

•

To create PCM files for custom phone rings, you can use any standard audio editing packages that

supports these file format requirements.

Configuring a Custom Phone Ring

To create custom phone rings for the Cisco Unified IP Phone, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Create a PCM file for each custom ring (one ring per file). Ensure the PCM files comply with the format

guidelines that are listed in the

PCM File Requirements for Custom Ring Types, page 6-3

Step 2

Place the new PCM files that you created to the Cisco TFTP server for each

Cisco Unified Communications Manager in your cluster. For more information, see the

Software

Upgrades

Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide.

Step 3

Use a text editor to edit the Ringlist.xml file. See

Ringlist.xml File Format Requirements, page 6-2

for

information about how to format this file and for a sample Ringlist.xml file.

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 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 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.
