Changing Phone background in Cisco IP Phone

This is a very common requirement to customize the background image of phone for various deployment and is very commond practice across organization for branding purpose.

Here i am going to discuss the steps that you need to change the background image  for cisco phone.

Below are the few point that you need to keep in mind to acheive the result:

1. Keep with you the List.xml file remember the name of the file is case senstive

The xml file should contain the below text
 <CiscoIPPhoneImageList>
<ImageItem Image="TFTP:Desktops/320x212x16/TN-Image.png"
URL="TFTP:Desktops/320x212x16/Image.png"/>
</CiscoIPPhoneImageList>

2. Keep with you the image file that you want to upload  ,Actual Image size should be 320 x 212 pixels and the thumbnail image size should be 80x53 pixels

e.g Name the original image as  Image.png and the thumbnail as TN-Image.png

Now upload all the file  files to the TFTP file management by navigating to Operating Systme Administration > TFTP file management and upload the file , mention the directory for the file which will be specific to phone model for e.g Cisco 7941-61 uses /Desktops/320x196x4 as a directory.

Now once all the file uploaded restart the tftp server.

Now you can change the phone background from the Phone setting ..
