You can use Cisco Phone Designer to put an image on it. Free download from Cisco. You could put 'Hello World' in an image file and upload it. If you want to do like a text page, you need to use a third party software package like SingleWire (Berbee) or something similar. There are several of those type packages available.

Cisco also offers a Software Development Kit where you can write your own XML apps. Or at least they used to offer it. There was a hardback Csico Press book called Developing Cisco IP Phone Services that stepped you through creating services. The book is several years old so you may have to 'read between the lines' to use it for the newer software.

hey Pndscm

I feel so difficult after hearing from you!For just displaying a hello world or my name in ip communicator or Ip phone ,I should get third party software package ??
Im quite new to this tech..please bear with me!

Right now I just installed cucm6 on vmware 2.0 server,and I have Cisco IP communicator with me !

Actually I need to integrate the phone 7975 to Microsoft Axapta database table and get one customer table,and make the table display in the Ip phone.

Im just doing some work around or practice for cucm now.

As a beginner im trying to diplay some Hello World text or atleast my name to the phone..and right now with communicator not with real phone !

Can you please tell me how to proceed ? Is there any video tutorials available or can I get that book from net?

And I just got IP phone service Software Development Kit for version 4.1 and 7.1.Which one i can use with my cucm6? And Is there any settings for cucm and Development Kit??

Thanks in advance

Hi,

you can customize the phone ring, background and idle display of your phone without a third party software.

To change the background image:
Upload the images to all the CUCM on your cluster.
This is the path where the files should be Desktops/320x212x12/

Then you need to create List.xml file which includes these attributes:

•Image—Uniform resource identifier (URI) that specifies where the phone obtains the thumbnail image that appears on the Background Images menu.

•URL—URI that specifies where the phone obtains the full size image.

<CiscoIPPhoneImageList>

<ImageItem Image="TFTPesktops/320x212x12/TN-Fountain.png"
URL="TFTPesktops/320x212x12/Fountain.png"/>

<ImageItem Image="TFTPesktops/320x212x12/TN-FullMoon.png"
URL="TFTPesktops/320x212x12/FullMoon.png"/>

</CiscoIPPhoneImageList>


For proper display on Cisco IP Communicator, the PNG files for background images must meet these requirements:

•Full size image—320 pixels (width) X 212 pixels (height).

•Thumbnail image—80 pixels (width) X 53 pixels (height).

You can find more info about it here

Caos is the natural order of things...
