Customizing Cisco IP Communicator
This chapter explains how to customize phone ring sounds, background images,
and the idle display at your site. Ring sounds play when Cisco IP Communicator
receives a call. Background images appear on the phone screen. The idle display
appears on the phone screen when the Cisco IP Communicator has not been used
for a designated period.
This chapter includes these topics:
• Creating Custom Phone Rings, page 6-1

• Configuring the Idle Display, page 6-9
Creating Custom Phone Rings
Cisco IP Communicator software provides two default ring types: Chirp1 and
Chirp2. Cisco CallManager also provides a default set of additional phone ring
sounds that are implemented in software as pulse code modulation (PCM) files.
The PCM files, along with an XML file (named RingList.xml) that describes the
ring list options that are available at your site, exist in the TFTP directory on each
Cisco CallManager server.
