Re: Background image - Polycom IP321

icsnettech · ‎10-30-2011

Hi,
The IP321 and 331 phones do not have a menu option to specify a screen background. Is it possible to specify through the config file for these models?

We have selected a custom image on our 650 phones through the menu>basic>pref>background although this menu option is not present on the smaller phones.

Regards
Simon

Hello Simon,

let me answer this question by simply quoting from the Admin Guide:

Graphic Display Backgrounds
You can set up a picture or design to be displayed on the background of the graphic display of all SoundPoint IP 450, 550, 560, 650, and 670 and Polycom VVX 1500 phones.

I remember some customer cases where they managed to utilize the idle Microbrowser and loaded a html document with a small jpg graphic but that then affects the Date Display or the 2nd line.

This is something you would need to play with yourselves.

Looking into the old cases there a 2x separate ways to do this.

Option 1 (The customer wanted to show the whole Phone Number next to the Line Icon):

Create a html file 01234567890.html

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>
01234567890<br /></title>
  </head>
</html>

Load the File via:

mb.idleDisplay.home="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/01234567890.html" mb.idleDisplay.refresh="5"

Result:

Option 2 (The Customer wanted to display a Alarm Phone Number):

Create a BMP (size 88x12)

Example logo-330

Load this via:

ind.idleDisplay.enabled="1" bitmap.IP_330.68.name="logo-330" ind.anim.IP_330.29.frame.1.bitmap="logo-330" ind.anim.IP_330.29.frame.1.duration="0"

Result:

NOTE: Please be aware that above are pre UCS 3.3.0 Configuration Examples and you will need to convert these. Please consult the Admin Guide for further Information on the bitmap.idleDisplay.name command.
