How to add a custom background image in CUCM

Create backgroung image files

Create two .png images one for the thumbnail and one for the real image.

    1.   For best results, reduce the colour palette of an image to 12-bit (4096 colors) when you create a PNG file.

  Ø  “tn-xxxx.png” is the thumbnail image

  Ø  “xxxx.png” is the “real” image

  Ø  Thumbnail and real image sizes must be exact to specs below

    2.   Create a “List.xml” file

 Here is the format of the List.xml file for two separate example backgrounds  in logo and mountain.

 <CiscoIPPhoneImageList>

<ImageItem Image=”TFTP:Desktops/320x212x12/tn-logo.png” URL=”TFTP:Desktops/320x212x12/logo.png”/>

<ImageItem Image=”TFTP:Desktops/320x212x12/tn-mountain.png” URL=”TFTP:Desktops/320x212x12/mountain.png”/>
