Configuring Wideband Codec Chapter 6 Customizing the Cisco Unified IP Phone Step 4 Step 5 Use a text editor to edit the List.xml file. See the "List.xml File Format Requirements" section on page 6-4 for the location of this file, formatting requirements, and a sample file. Save your modifications and close the List.xml file. Note When you upgrade Cisco Unified Communications Manager, a default List.xml file will replace your customized List.xml file. After you customize the List.xml file, make a copy of the file and store it in another location. After upgrading Cisco Unified Communications Manager, replace the default List.xml file with your stored copy. Step 6 To cache the new List.xml file, stop and start the TFTP service by using Cisco Unified Communications Manager 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). Configuring Wideband Codec If Cisco Unified Communications Manager has been configured to use G.722 (G.722 is enabled by default for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7975G) and if the far endpoint supports G.722, the call connects by using the G.722 codec in place of G.711. This situation occurs regardless of whether the user has enabled a wideband headset or wideband handset, but if either the headset or handset is enabled, the user may notice greater audio sensitivity during the call. Greater sensitivity means improved audio clarity but also means that more background noise can be heard by the far endpoint-noise such as rustling papers or nearby conversations. Even without a wideband headset or handset, some users may prefer the additional sensitivity of G.722. Other users may be distracted by the additional sensitivity of G.722. The following parameters in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration affect whether wideband is supported for this Cisco Unified Communications Manager server or a specific phone: • Advertise G.722 Codec-From Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose System > Enterprise Parameters. The default value of this enterprise parameter is True, which means that all Cisco Unified IP Phone Series that are registered to this Cisco Unified Communications Manager advertise G.722 to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. If each endpoint in the attempted call supports G.722 in its capabilities set, Cisco Unified Communications Manager chooses that codec for the call. • 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.

Chapter 6
Customizing the Cisco Unified IP Phone
Configuring Wideband Codec
Step 4
Use a text editor to edit the List.xml file. See the
“List.xml File Format Requirements” section on
page 6-4
for the location of this file, formatting requirements, and a sample file.
Step 5
Save your modifications and close the List.xml file.
Note
When you upgrade Cisco Unified Communications Manager, a default List.xml file will replace
your customized List.xml file. After you customize the List.xml file, make a copy of the file and
store it in another location. After upgrading Cisco Unified Communications Manager, replace
the default List.xml file with your stored copy.
Step 6
To cache the new List.xml file, stop and start the TFTP service by using Cisco Unified Communications
Manager 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).
Configuring Wideband Codec
If Cisco Unified Communications Manager has been configured to use G.722 (G.722 is enabled by
default for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7975G) and if the far endpoint supports G.722, the call connects
by using the G.722 codec in place of G.711. This situation occurs regardless of whether the user has
enabled a wideband headset or wideband handset, but if either the headset or handset is enabled, the user
may notice greater audio sensitivity during the call. Greater sensitivity means improved audio clarity but
also means that more background noise can be heard by the far endpoint—noise such as rustling papers
or nearby conversations. Even without a wideband headset or handset, some users may prefer the
additional sensitivity of G.722. Other users may be distracted by the additional sensitivity of G.722.
The following parameters in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration affect whether
wideband is supported for this Cisco Unified Communications Manager server or a specific phone:
Advertise G.722 Codec—From Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose
System > Enterprise Parameters
. The default value of this enterprise parameter is True, which
means that all Cisco Unified IP Phone Series that are registered to this Cisco Unified
Communications Manager advertise G.722 to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. If each
endpoint in the attempted call supports G.722 in its capabilities set, Cisco Unified Communications
Manager chooses that codec for the call.
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.
