You can create a text or an image logo to display when the Cisco IP Phone boots up. A logo displays during
the boot sequence for a short period after the Cisco logo displays.
Before you begin
Access the phone administration web page. See
Procedure
Step 1 Click Voice > User.
Step 2
In the Screen section, select any option from the Boot Display field.
• Default: Displays a blank screen or existing screen as the startup screen.
• Download Picture: Displays a picture as the startup screen. Enter the path in the Picture Download
• Logo: Displays a logo as the startup screen. Enter the path in the Logo URL field.
• Text: Displays a text as the startup screen. Enter text in the Text Display field.
You can also configure this parameter in the configuration file (cfg.xml) by entering a string in this format:
<Boot_Display ua="na">Logo</Boot_Display>
The allowed values are Default|Download Picture|Logo|Text. The default option is Default.
Step 3 To display a picture or a logo, enter the path in the Picture Download URL or Logo URL field.
For example:
http://10.64.84.147/pictures/image04.png
When you enter an incorrect URL to download the image, the phone fails to upgrade to the new image and
displays the existing image. If the phone does not have any image downloaded earlier, it displays a gray screen.
The logo must be a .jpg or a .png file. The phone has a fixed display area. So, if the original logo size doesn't
fit into the display area, you need to scale it to fit the screen. For the Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series, the logo
display area is at the mid-center of the phone screen. The display area size of the Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series
is 128x128.
You can also configure this parameter in the configuration file (cfg.xml) by entering a string in this format:
<Picture_Download_URL
ua="na">http://10.64.84.147/pictures/bootimage1.jpg</Picture_Download_URL>
<Logo_URL ua="na">http://10.64.84.147/pictures/logo_image.jpg</Logo_URL>
Step 4
To display text at bootup, enter the text to display in the Text Display field following the requirements:
• Enter up to two lines of text with less than 32 characters for each line.
• Insert a new line character (\n) and escape code (%0a) between the two lines.
