Hi,

 

I have been trying to use a custom background on a Trio Visual + system.

 

As far as I understand, all I have to do is add the parameters to the config files for the base unit, correct? (i.e. Trio 800)

 

I have added:

 

<mr.bg mr.bg.selection="5" mr.bg.showPlcmLogo="1" mr.bg.url="URL">
</mr.bg>

 

But after restarting the system nothing happens. I have tried using only the mr.bg.selection alone with a different number, but the background doesn't change at all. All the other features pertaining to the Trio 8800 through provisioning do work as expected.

 

Am I supposed to use instead a separate cfg file for the Visual +?

Is there a password to the server? For my FTP the URL ended up being ftp://username:password@IP/filename

Hello all,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

It is always useful to include the currently used UC Software version as issues experienced or a question asked may already be addressed in a newer release.

This also allows yourself and others to check against current software release notes, Administrator Guides or FAQ post’s.

The above is also stated in the "Read First"

Therefore the Polycom VoIP FAQ contains this post here:

Question: How can I find out my SIP or UC Software Version of my Phone?
Resolution: Please check here

 

In addition the FAQ shows this here:

 

Apr 5, 2016 Question:Can I customize the background Picture of a Polycom RealPresence Visual+ connected to a Polycom RealPresence Trio 8800?

Resolution: Please check => here <= for details.

 

I have tested this in the past and it works and if you facing an issue please check your logs and provisioning server to see if the phone attempts to download the defined picture.

Hi,

 

Sorry about that. I have the latest UC

UC Software Version 5.4.3.2389

 

To try and troubleshoot, I am trying to just change the background to one of the built-in ones, but the mr.bg.selection="#" doesn't do anthing either. The system still displays the last set background.

Hello ,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

as outlined in the above reply please check your logs.

 

If you still struggle please open a support ticket.

In order to raise a support ticket you need to work with your Polycom reseller as they need to do this for you. In case this is some sort of an Internet discounter please post your phone's MAC address so I can look up who would be able to support you.

When looking at the log of the Visual+ I see this line:

 

Server 'IP of Trio 8800' said 'MAC of Visual+.cfg' is not present

 

I added the .cfg for the Visual+ but do I need to declare in the .cfg for the Trio8800?

HP Recommended
Hello

The Visual+ does not need to be configured and all configuration changes are made on the Trio itself
