I have changed the back-light time out on my 9608 phones using the entry in 46xxsettings.txt.

This appears to be a global setting and applies to all phones.

Is there a way to apply it to only one phone?
 
Yes you can.
You need to open the 46xxsettings.txt again and add something:


IF $GROUP SEQ 1 goto DIFFERENTSCREENSAVER
goto NORMALSCREENSAVER

#DIFFERENTSCREENSAVER
SET SCREENSAVERON 5


#NORMALSCREENSAVER
SET SCREENSAVERON 240

Now go to the phone (be sure it is working) and type "mute" and "craft"
Then go to group and set it to 1
Save and reboot and it will have a screensaver of 5 minutes instead of 240.
All the other phones will have the default group of 0 and ignore this setting.


BAZINGA!

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

 
Indeed, have done something similar in the past to give different custom screensavers to businesses in a business centre :)

 
Thanks for the help. Is there anywhere the 46xxsettings.txt file is documented?
 
Not in the file itself but this is documented somewhere.
