J179 Screen background/logo 4

[davea2]

Does anyone know if it's possible to use custom images for the background?

Cheers

In the manual is

Note:
Your system administrator can also change the background logo through the settings file.

So it would appear so.

I will take another look, thanks for the update!

As always the manuals are your friend

http://marketingtools.avaya.com/kno...pphoneinst/modifying_adding_additional_se.htm

EDIT - Ah that's for the H323 ones and not the J179 (yes I'd want to change the background pretty quickly if I had one and not the 9608 that I do!) but it covers the 46xxspecials.txt that's a neat way of customising the auto-generated file.

the J100 series manual is on the main support site

Not sure if there is a way around this, if (like we want too) have a logo which is mainly white, you can't see the text on the phone.

In paint:
File Save as monochrome bitmap.
File Save as JPEG.

A madman with a taste for speed.

 

[VoIP Numpty]

Just checked that manual and I'm amazed that there's no option for changing the text colour (yes I searched for the American spelling too ;-) - and from what you say there's no intelligence to do it automatically like I gather the current Android does.

Time for some feedback to Avaya I think from someone with a predominantly white logo...

 

[holdmusic34]

ignore my edited comment. i didnt read post properly.

 

[davea2]

Hmm... still can get this to work.
I have edited 46xxspecials.txt to download and set the .jpg background (file below)
When the phone boots it downloads 46xxsettings.txt and 46xxspecials.txt - I can see this from the HTTP logs in Monitor, however the phone makes no attempt to download the .jpg for the background.
Everything looks right according to the docs though..

Any ideas? I've been staring at this so long I am probably missing something right in from of my face!

Cheers

It's a long shot... but the example 46xx settings file on support.avaya.com has this line with quotes round the list;

## SET BACKGROUND_IMAGE "background_example1.jpg,background_example2.jpeg"

 

[davea2]

Well the quotes did not work.
I tried putting the settings (without quotes) in the 46xxsettings.txt instead of the 46xxspecials.txt and it worked no problem.

So the specials file is not being acted upon or read correctly?

 

[VoIP Numpty]

sounds like it :-( needs raising as a bug to Avaya.
The doc I referred to above (

http://support.avaya.com/css/P8/documents/101047989

) says on page 75

GET commands, of the form
GET filename.
The phone attempts to download the file named by filename
, and if it is successfully obtained, it will be interpreted as an additional settings
file, and no additional lines will be interpreted in the original file. If the file cannot be obtained,
the phone will continue to interpret the original file

And you saw it getting the file...

Glad you got it working though!

 

[Johnhyde]

It works for me, I had to ensure the file size and resolution was as per the manual.

 

[Michael33471]

On the Powered By system (hosted VM) i have created the JPG file for the background_image but am unsure as to where to place it on the system
Any feedback would be apprecaied.

 

[tlpeter]

Always the primary folder.
Go to /opt/ipoffice or something similar and search for the folder primary.
Put it in there and you are fine.

BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

 

[TheSmash]

I use the Specials file with something similar for the below. I have set it up so that I can select different images and setting for the J169 and J179 as not images work that well on both. Example below;

# J169SPECIALS
SET BRANDING_VOLUME 0
SET BACKGROUND_IMAGE "xxx.jpg"
SET BACKGROUND_IMAGE_DISPLAY "xxx.jpg"
SET BACKGROUND_IMAGE_SELECTABLE 0
GOTO GENERALSPECIALS
# J179SPECIALS
SET BRANDING_VOLUME 0
SET BACKGROUND_IMAGE "xxx.jpg"
SET BACKGROUND_IMAGE_DISPLAY "xxx.jpg"
SET BACKGROUND_IMAGE_SELECTABLE 0
SET SCREENSAVERON 15
SET SCREENSAVER_IMAGE "42.jpg,44.jpg,49.jpg,62.jpg,63.jpg"
SET SCREENSAVER_IMAGE_DISPLAY "42.jpg"
SET SCREENSAVER_IMAGE_SELECTABLE 1
GOTO GENERALSPECIALS

The example also gives options for screensaver setting if you want them.

You can also disable the user from changing the image with SET BACKGROUND_IMAGE_SELECTABLE 0 or 1 to enable. Same goes for the Screensaver.

Thanks, the file has been placed in the System/Primary folder and have the above code from TheSmash in the 46XX file however no go.
Where will the system report what / how the 46XX file is processed on the handset when looking for errors ?

I also assume the new 46XXsettings.txt file lives in the same location as the JPG files ?

 

[tlpeter]

TheSmash posted his specials file.
Search in the manual how to create this file and how to activate it.
Do not change the 46xxsettings.txt file!!!


BAZINGA!

[Michael33471]

In speaking with Avaya support recently they have advised the opposite for Powered By config.

 

[sizbut]

Hmmm, and only this morning I caught an Avaya support person claiming the same settings didn't work on J139 phones choose who you want to believe.

What version is your IP Office system? - the 46xxspecials.txt file behaviour changed a lot in release 11.0 as it became an official feature, but it can be made to work in earlier releases. (that said, whilst Powered By release support always lags I was sure they supported 11.0 by now)

Stuck in a never ending cycle of file copying.
