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
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.

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.
