Cisco 8851 Administration Guide

Customize the Startup Screen with Text and Picture
You can create a text or 128-by-48 pixel by 1-bit deep image logo to display when the Cisco IP Phone boots
up. A logo displays during the boot sequence for a short period after the Cisco logo displays.
Procedure
Step 1 Click Admin Login > advanced > Voice > User.
Step 2 In the Screen section, select any option from the Boot Display field.
• Default: Displays a blank screen or existing screen as the startup screen.
• Download Picture: Displays a picture as the startup screen. Enter the path in the Picture Download
URL field.
For example:
http://10.64.84.147/pictures/image04_128x48.png
When you enter an incorrect URL to download a new wallpaper, the phone fails to upgrade to the newer
wallpaper and displays the existing downloaded wallpaper. If the phone does not have any wallpaper
downloaded earlier, it displays a gray screen.
The supported phone image file attributes are: Bitmap format, one bit-per-pixel color, size 128-by-48
pixels. You can also use a TFTP server.
• Logo: Displays a logo as the startup screen. See Add a Logo as the Boot Display, on page 151.
• Text: Displays a text as the startup screen. Enter text in the Text Display field. Enter up to two lines of
text. Each line must be less than 32 characters. Insert a new line character (\n) and escape code (%0a)
between the two lines.
For example, Super\n%0aTelecom displays:
Super
Telecom
Use the + character to add spaces for formatting. You can add multiple + characters before and after the
text to center it.
Step 3 To display a text logo, enter text in the Text Logo field with following requirements:
• Enter up to two lines of text.
• Each line must be less than 32 characters.
• Insert a new line character (\n) and escape code (%0a) between the two lines.
For example, Super\n%0aTelecom displays:
