is an XML service that Cisco IP Communicator invokes when it has been idle (not

XML services that can be used as idle displays include company logos, product
pictures, and stock quotes.
Configuring the idle display consists of these general steps.
Formatting an image.
1.
Configuring Cisco CallManager to display the image.
