Overview
Our Phone Customizer is a tool for the rapid creation and deployment of
background image sets or '
wallpaper' for Cisco
IP Phones. It is designed for use by system administrators for
rapid deployment to hundreds or thousands of phones using a
push technique from your administrative PC.
See this
link for a video demonstration of how to push backgrounds to IP Phones quickly and easily!
The Cisco
Phone Designer tool is soon to be discontinued, and is designed for use by an end user with a small number of handsets. Our tool is designed for administrators. You can import an image in any supported format and it will automatically be sized to fit each background-capable handset display. After previewing and adjusting the images, you can then assign them one at a time or in bulk, and allow the tool to push the image selection out to any number of handsets.
The downloaded evaluation product will include limitations such as a watermark on deployed images. A product purchase will result in you being issued a license that removes those limitations.
Compatibility
This application works with versions of Communications Manager/CallManager from 6.1 upwards that have 'Phone Personalization' capability and IP Phone firmware that supports personalisation.

new!), 7941, 7961, 7942, 7962, 7945, 7965, 7970, 7971, 7975, 8961, 9971, 9951, Cisco IP Communicator.

Licensing
When you run the application and connect to your CUCM cluster, the application will read a server identifier from your CUCM cluster. This will be displayed on the screen, and this should be emailed to support@ipcommute.co.uk to obtain a license for that cluster.
If you have multiple clusters, the process is as follows:
- Purchase one Phone Customizer for each cluster you intend to manage
- Connect to each cluster, and note the server identifier provided for each
- Supply the full list of identifiers to support@ipcommute.co.uk and your license will be issued
If you have (for example) a single cluster, and a test bed/proofing cluster, the application can be used without purchasing an extra license in evaluation mode. The main limitation is that images deployed will be watermarked, however this is typically not a problem in these scenarios.
