The PNG files for background images must meet the following requirements for
proper display on the Cisco Unified IP Phone:
Full size image—95 pixels (width) X 34 pixels (height).
•
Thumbnail image—23 pixels (width) X 8 pixels (height).
•
Color palette—For best results, set to monochrome (1-bit) when you create a
•
PNG file.
To configure custom background images for the Cisco Unified IP Phone, follow
these steps:
Procedure
Create two PNG files for each image (a full size version and a thumbnail version).
Ensure the PNG files comply with the format guidelines that are listed in the
"PNG File Requirements for Custom Background Images" section on page
Upload the new PNG files that you created to the following subdirectory in the
TFTP server for the Cisco Unified Communications Manager:
/Desktops/95x34x1
The file name and subdirectory parameters are case sensitive. Be sure to
Note
use the forward slash "/" when you specify the subdirectory path.
To upload the files, choose Software Upgrades > Upload TFTP Server File in
Cisco IPT Platform Administration. For more information, see the "Software
Upgrades" chapter in Cisco Unified Platform Administration Guide.
You must also copy the customized images and files to the other TFTP servers that
the phone may contact to obtain these files.
Cisco recommends that you also store backup copies of custom image
Note
files in another location. You can use these backup copies if the
customized files are overwritten when you upgrade
Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
