Customize the Startup Screen
You can create a text or an image logo to display when the Cisco IP Phone boots up. A logo displays during
the boot sequence for a short period after the Cisco logo displays.
Before you begin
Access the phone administration web page. See
Access the Phone Web Interface, on page 104
Procedure
Step 1
Click
Voice
>
User
.
Step 2
In the
Screen
section, select any option from the
Boot Display
field.
•
Default
: Displays a blank screen or existing screen as the startup screen.
•
Download Picture
: Displays a picture as the startup screen. Enter the path in the
Picture Download
URL
field.
•
Logo
: Displays a logo as the startup screen. Enter the path in the
Logo URL
field.
•
Text
: Displays a text as the startup screen. Enter text in the
Text Display
field.
You can also configure this parameter in the configuration file (cfg.xml) by entering a string in this format:
<Boot_Display ua="na">Logo</Boot_Display>
The allowed values are Default|Download Picture|Logo|Text. The default option is Default.
Step 3
To display a picture or a logo, enter the path in the
Picture Download URL
or
Logo URL
field.
For example:
http://10.64.84.147/pictures/image04.png
When you enter an incorrect URL to download the image, the phone fails to upgrade to the new image and
displays the existing image. If the phone does not have any image downloaded earlier, it displays a gray screen.
The logo must be a .jpg or a .png file. The phone has a fixed display area. So, if the original logo size doesn't
fit into the display area, you need to scale it to fit the screen. For the Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series, the logo
display area is at the mid-center of the phone screen. The display area size of the Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series
is 128x128.
You can also configure this parameter in the configuration file (cfg.xml) by entering a string in this format:
<Picture_Download_URL
ua="na">http://10.64.84.147/pictures/bootimage1.jpg</Picture_Download_URL>
<Logo_URL ua="na">http://10.64.84.147/pictures/logo_image.jpg</Logo_URL>
Step 4
To display text at bootup, enter the text to display in the
Text Display
field following the requirements:
• Enter up to two lines of text with less than 32 characters for each line.
• Insert a new line character (\n) and escape code (%0a) between the two lines.
