Changing the Graphic on the Cisco Unified IP Phone Screen

When the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7905G and 7912G are not in use for a call, a graphic appears on the phone screen. Using TFTP configuring, you can change this graphic to one that you provide. For example, you might change the graphic to your company logo.

Before you can change the graphic on the phone, you must use a graphics program to create an image with the following attributes:

•Width of 88 pixels.

•Height of 27 pixels.

•Monochrome (black-and-white).

•Saved as bitmap file with the extension .bmp. For example, mylogo.bmp.

In addition, you will need the bmp2logo.exe tool, which converts your bitmap image file to a .logo file that can be downloaded to the phone. This tool is bundled with the Cisco Unified IP Phone software. You can also obtain it from the CCO website at the following URL. It is included with the SCCP Software Package Zip file.

To change the graphic that appears on a Cisco Unified IP Phone, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 Open a command window and type the following command:
bmp2logo imageID image.bmp image.logo
where:

•imageID is a unique identifier for the new graphic. This identifier must be a number from 0 through 4294967296 and must be different than the identifier of the graphic that is currently on the phone.

•image is the base file name of the image that you previously created and saved with the graphics program.

Note The imageID of the image that comes with the phone is 1.

For example, if the image identifier is 10 and the base name of your image file is mylogo, type this command:
bmp2logo 10 mylogo.bmp mylogo.logo
Step 2 Copy the image.logo file to the TFTPPATH directory on the TFTP server.

Step 3 Add the following line to the Cisco Unified IP Phone profile file.

Note For detailed information about using profile files, see "Additional Configuration Methods and Parameters."
upgradelogo:imageID,TFTPServerID,image.logo
where:

•imageID is the same unique identifier that you specified in Step 1.

•TFTPServerID is the IP address of the TFTP server on which the image.logo file is stored. If the image.logo file is stored on the same TFTP server as the Cisco Unified IP Phone configuration file, replace TFTPServerID with the numeral 0.

•image is the base file name of the image file.

For example, if the image identifier is 10, the converted file is stored on the same TFTP server as the Cisco Unified IP Phone configuration file, and the base name of the converted image file is mylogo, add the following line to the configuration file:
upgradelogo:10,0,mylogo.logo
Step 4 Use the cfgfmt.exe tool to generate a binary profile file from the text file.

Put the binary file in these locations:

•The root directory on the TFTP server (C:\Program Files\cisco\tftppath)

•The network locale directories on the TFTP server for each language that is supported by Cisco Unified CallManager.

The default network locale directory on the TFTP server is C:\Program Files\ cisco\tftppath\United_States.

Note For detailed information about using the cfgfmt.exe tool, see the "Editing a Profile File and Converting it to Binary Format" section.

Step 5 Power cycle the phone.

The new graphic appears when the phone restarts.
