Push phone backgrounds for multiple models

Manuel Azevedo · ‎03-03-2016

Hi guys,

I've created a tool to allow the automation of some tasks regarding phone backgrounds:

Push background images to phones belonging to a particular user
- You can create service users for Front Desk phones, corridors and meeting rooms phone
Allow the background to be pushed according to the phone model
- For the 9951, push the 640x480x24 background
- For the 7965, push the 320x212x16 background
- Etc...

Create a configuration file with the details of where your backgrounds can be reached, which user associated phones you want to push the background, etc...

You can also use command line switches to change any particular background push.

Here's a sample pushed background to a 7965:

Configured models (not extensively tested!):

Model	RISDB ID	Resolution
7906	369	`95x34x1`
7911	307	`95x34x1`
7942	434	`320x196x4`
7962	404	`320x196x4`
7945	435	`320x212x16`
7965	436	`320x212x16`
7970	30006	`320x212x12`
7971	119	`320x212x12`
7975	437	`320x216x16`
7985	302	`800x600x16`
8811	36217	`800x480x24`
8841	683	`800x480x24`
8851	684	`800x480x24`
8861	685	`800x480x24`
8941	586	`640x480x24`
8945	585	`640x480x24`
8961	540	`640x480x24`
9951	537	`640x480x24`
9971	493	`640x480x24`

Please note: the IP phones have an internal flash - the tool pushes the background irrespective if the background already exists on the phone. This might shorten the life of your flash if you do it very often!
