Documentation Updates

This section describes recent documentation changes that were made available after Cisco Unified IP Phone 7985G firmware 4.1(7) was released.

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7985G Administration Guide

This section provides information about changes to the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7985G Administration Guide (Cisco Unified CallManager 4.1 and later).

List.xml File Format Requirements

Configuring a Background Image

List.xml File Format Requirements

In the List.xml File Format Requirements section, the List.xml Example should be as follows:

List.xml Example

<CiscoIPPhoneImageList>
<ImageItem Image="TFTP:Desktops/800x600x16/TN-Fountain.png" 
URL="TFTP:Desktops/800x600x16/Fountain.png"/> 
<ImageItem Image="TFTP:Desktops/800x600x16/TN-FullMoon.png" 
URL="TFTP:Desktops/800x600x16/FullMoon.png"/> 
</CiscoIPPhoneImageList>

Configuring a Background Image

In the Configuring a Background Image section, the corrected PNG file path is listed in Step 2.

Procedure


Step 1 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 6-6.

Step 2 Place the new PNG files that you created in the following folder on the TFTP server for each Cisco Unified CallManager in the cluster:

C:\Program Files\Cisco\TFTPPath\Desktops\800x600x16


Note Cisco recommends that you also store backup copies of custom image files in another location. You can use these backup copies if the customized files are overwritten when you upgrade Cisco Unified CallManager.


Step 3 Use a text editor to edit the List.xml file. See the "List.xml File Format Requirements" section on page 6-5 for the location of this file, formatting requirements, and a sample file.

Step 4 Save your modifications and close the List.xml file.


Note When you upgrade Cisco Unified CallManager, a default List.xml file will replace your customized List.xml file. After your customize the List.xml file, make a copy of the file and store it in another location. After upgrading Cisco Unified CallManager, replace the default List.xml file with your stored copy.
