5360 screensaver question

[ExCentigram]

We're running 5.0 now and have about 12 - 5360 phones out there across a few controllers. Of course, only execs have them and a couple of them don't want the screensaver to come on at all, ever. Blacking out the screen is not an option, they want to see their buttons. I see a few posts that in 4.1 this was not possible , has anything changed? On a 5340 set you can still disable it. Why not a 5360?

This remains the same - it is not an option.

The reason for this is due to the cost of the display. The display used on the 5360 is a lot more to produce (something like 7x the 5330/5340 cost). The 5360 display will burn in much more quicker then the 5330/5340 displays. We don't want to leave the same pixels on for a long period of time, either wise they would burn out or not function correctly. Its no different than an iPad - you can't just set an iPad down for 20 minutes an not expect it to turn of the display.

The one thing you could do is create your own screen saver, whereby the screen is always black. This does not disable the bulbs on both sides of the display, but would be less distracting.

There is changes coming in the future (release version, and date unknown) to the screen savers. At that time it will be more to your liking (hopefully). Unfortunately for right now, it is what it is.

When I last asked Mitel about this it was a free license for every 5360.

Yes, there is a demo available on the LCS (as mentioned).

In addition, it does require an additional server (VM or physical).

You can add screen savers to your MCD (VM or physical) without the need of LCS - however a license is required to enable that functionality. I believe with MCD 5.0 or >, you can Try-and-Buy. I would have to double check that, but I believe that is an option.

I have the same issue with 5340 phones. The senior manager cannot see if there are any missed calls when the screen save is activated.
Unless they press any key or left the handset to deactivate the screen saver, then the call history key will lit.

TheMitelGuy I have read your post dated 27/42008

Once "enabled" on the instrument with the Display Image toggle, you cannot subsequently disable it. You can un-tic the display image check box, but the screensaver still displays, even after a full reset of the phone.

Now they don't want the screen saver at all, there is anyway to disable it or delete the screen saver from the system so that it wont display it. The 3300 controller running MCD 5.0.
