Customized Background Images for Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970

The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970 and 7971 support customized background images on the phone screen. To enable your Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970 or 7971 to display a customized background image, follow the procedure in the technical note at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps4625/products_tech_note09186a008062495a.shtml

Sample background images are available in the 7970-backgrounds.tar file at http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ip-iostsp

Fixed Line/Feature Buttons for Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G

In Cisco Unified CME 4.0(2) and later versions, you can select from two fixed button-layout formats to assign functionality to certain line buttons on a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G to support key system phone behavior. If you do not select a button set, no fixed set of feature/line buttons are defined.

The line button layout for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G is a bottom-up array. Button 1 is at the bottom right of the array and button 24 is at the top left of the array.

Button set 1 includes two predefined feature buttons: button 24 is Menu and button 23 is Headset.

Button set 2 includes four predefined feature buttons: button 24 is Menu; button 23 is Headset; button 22 is Directories; and button 21 is Messages.

For configuration, see the "SCCP: Selecting Button Layout for a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G" section.

Header Bar Display

You can customize the content of an IP phone header bar, which is the top line of the IP phone display.

The IP phone header bar, or top line, of a Cisco Unified IP Phone normally replicates the text that appears next to the first line button. The header bar is shown in Figure 52. The header bar can, however, contain a user-definable message instead of the extension number. For example, the header bar can be used to display a name or the full E.164 number of the phone. If no description is specified, the header bar replicates the extension number that appears next to the first button on the phone.

Figure 52 Cisco Unified IP Phone Display

Phone Labels

Pone labels are configurable text strings that can be displayed instead of extension numbers next to line buttons on a Cisco Unified IP phone. By default, the number that is associated to a directory number, and assigned to a phone, is displayed next to the applicable button. The label feature allows you to enter a meaningful text string for each directory number so that a phone user with multiple lines can select a line by label instead of by phone number, thus eliminating the need to consult in-house phone directories. For configuration information, see the "SCCP: Creating Labels for Directory Numbers" section or the "SIP: Creating Labels for Directory Numbers" section.

Programmable Vendor Parameters for Phones

The vendorConfig section of the configuration file contains phone and display parameters that are read and implemented by a phone's firmware when that phone is booted. Only the parameters supported by the currently loaded firmware are available. The number and type of parameters may vary from one firmware version to the next.

The IP phone that downloads the configuration file will implement only those parameters that it can support and ignore configured parameters that it cannot implement. For example, a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970G does not have a backlit display and cannot implement Backlight parameters regardless of whether they are configured. The following text shows the format of an entry in the configuration file:

<vendorConfig>
<parameter-name>parameter-value</parameter-name>
</vendorConfig>

For configuration information at the system level, see the "SCCP: Modifying Vendor Parameters for All Phones" section. For configuration information for individual phones, see the "SCCP: Modifying Vendor Parameters For a Specific Phone" section.

System Message Display

The System Message Display feature allows you to specify a custom text or display message to appear in the lower part of the display window on display-capable IP phones. If you do not set a custom text or display message, the default message "Cisco Unified CME" is displayed.

When you specify a text message, the number of characters that can be displayed is not fixed because IP phones typically use a proportional (as opposed to fixed-width) font. There is room for approximately 30 alphanumeric characters.

The display message is refreshed with a new message after one of the following events occurs:

Busy phone goes back on-hook.

Idle phone receives a keepalive message.

Phone is restarted.

The file-display feature allows you to specify a file to display on display-capable IP phones when they are not in use. You can use this feature to provide the phone display with a system message that is refreshed at configurable intervals, similar to the way that the text message feature provides a message. The difference between the two is that the system text message feature displays a single line of text at the bottom of the phone display, whereas the system display message feature can use the entire display area and contain graphic images.

URL Provisioning for Feature Buttons

URL provisioning for customized feature buttons allows you to specify alternative XML files to access using the feature buttons on IP phones.

The Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940, 7940G, 7960, and 7960G have customized feature buttons that invoke noncall-related programmable services. The four buttons—Services, Directories, Messages, and Information (the i button)—are linked to appropriate feature operations through programmable URLs. The fifth button—Settings—is managed entirely by the phone. Operation of these services is determined by the IP phone capabilities and the content of the referenced URL.

The feature buttons are provisioned with specific URLs. The URLs link to XML web pages formatted with XML tags that the Cisco Unified IP phone understands and uses. When you press a feature button, the Cisco Unified IP phone uses the configured URL to access the appropriate XML web page for instructions. The web page sends instructions to the Cisco Unified IP phone to display information on the screen for users to navigate. Phone users can select options and enter information by using soft keys and the scroll button.

Step 4 

service phone parameter-name parameter-value

Example:

Router(config-ephone-template)# service phone daysBacklightNotActive 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Router(config-ephone-template)# service phone backlightOnTime 07:30

Router(config-ephone-template)# service phone backlightOnDuration 10:00

Router(config-ephone-template)# service phone backlightIdleTimeout 00.01

Sets parameters for all IP phones that support the configured functionality and to which this template is applied.

The parameter name is word and case-sensitive. See the Cisco Unified CME Command Reference for a list of parameters.

This command can also be configured in telephony-service configuration mode. For individual phones, the template configuration for this command overrides the system-level configuration for this command.

Step 5

Example:

Router(config-ephone-template)# exit

Exits from this command mode to the next highest mode in the configuration mode hierarchy.

Step 6 

ephone phone-tag

Example:

Router(config)# ephone 1

Enters ephone configuration mode.

Step 7 

ephone-template template-tag

Example:

Router(config-ephone)# ephone-template 15

Applies an ephone template to the ephone that is being configured.

Step 8 

end

Example:

Router(config-ephone)# end

Exits configuration mode and enters privileged EXEC mode.

What to Do Next

If you are done modifying parameters for phones in Cisco Unified CME, generate a new configuration file and restart the phones. See the "Generating Configuration Files for Phones" on page 265.

Troubleshooting Vendor Parameter Configuration


Step 1 Ensure that the templates have been properly applied to the phones.

Step 2 Ensure that you use the create cnf-files command to regenerate configuration files and reset the phones after you apply the templates.

Step 3 Use the show telephony-service tftp-bindings command to display the configuration files that are associated with individual phones

Router# show telephony-service tftp-binding


tftp-server system:/its/SEPDEFAULT.cnf

tftp-server system:/its/SEPDEFAULT.cnf alias SEPDefault.cnf

tftp-server system:/its/XMLDefault.cnf.xml alias XMLDefault.cnf.xml

tftp-server system:/its/ATADefault.cnf.xml

tftp-server system:/its/XMLDefault7960.cnf.xml alias SEP00036B54BB15.cnf.xml

tftp-server system:/its/germany/7960-font.xml alias German_Germany/7960-font.xml

tftp-server system:/its/germany/7960-dictionary.xml alias German_Germany/7960-dictionary.xml

tftp-server system:/its/germany/7960-kate.xml alias German_Germany/7960-kate.xml

tftp-server system:/its/germany/SCCP-dictionary.xml alias German_Germany/SCCP-dictionary.xml

tftp-server system:/its/germany/7960-tones.xml alias Germany/7960-tones.xml


Step 4 Use the debug tftp events command to verify that the phone is accessing the file when you reboot the phone.
