870 Custom Background and Springboard

[metwest]

I am looking at making the 870 handsets on my latest installation have a custom backgrounds with the company logo.

 

I have read the picture format tutorial and have created a .xml using the xml generator.

 

I put the file on our web server and to test I put the link to my idle-screen.xml in the identity settings of a handset. And it works a treat.

 

What I am struggling to work out is, what I need to add it in to my snom_870.xml file for mass provisioning.

 

I tried adding the following but have no luck with this image auto provisioning.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<setting-files>

<file url="{http-url}/snom_3xx_fw.xml?model=snom870" />

<file url="{https-url}/snom_3xx_phone.xml?model=snom870" />

<file url="{https-url}/snom_870_buttons.xml?model=snom870" />

<file url="{https-url}/snom_web_lang.xml?model=snom870" />

<file url="{https-url}/snom_gui_lang.xml?model=snom870" />

<file url="{http-url}/www.(ourwebserver).com.au/idle-screen.xml" />

</setting-files>

 

Also is it possible to edit the springboard tiles to custom functions?

 

P.S Where do we post suggestions for new features on this forum?

So I thought I would start simple and just add a simple command of turning off the US date format on 870.

 

Changed my snom_870.xml file in as follows but not even this worked. Also factory reset the phone and re provisioned. Still no luck. Any ideas on what Im not doing right?

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<setting-files>

<file url="{http-url}/snom_3xx_fw.xml?model=snom870" />

<file url="{https-url}/snom_3xx_phone.xml?model=snom870" />

<file url="{https-url}/snom_870_buttons.xml?model=snom870" />

<file url="{https-url}/snom_web_lang.xml?model=snom870" />

<file url="{https-url}/snom_gui_lang.xml?model=snom870" />

<date_us_format perm="R"><off></date_us_format>

</setting-files>

You can make such changes on the snom_3xx_phone.xml. The one that you edited is just the "root" file, pointing to all the other files with the details in it.

Thanks so much. I just assumed you edited that for 3 series phones. Makes sense now.

 

Anyway to customize the springboard screen?

That is a very flexible but also difficult topic. IMHO the easiest is to just modify the template either on domain or extension level to fit the local needs.
