I have five 7975G's, one 7925G and a SPA on my UC-540.
I want the 7975G's to turn on at 8:30AM and off at 5:30PM, Monday through Friday.
I want the 7975G backlight to come on when used outside those hours for 10 minutes.
Finally, when the backlight is idle and a new call comes in, the baclight should stay on for 10 minutes. I think the default behaivor is teh phone does not light up, but im not sure.
Here is what I think I need;
service phone daysBacklightNotActive 1,7
service phone backlightOnTime 08:30
service phone backlightOnDuration 09:00
service phone backlightIdleTimeout 00:15
service phone displayOnWhenIncomingCall 10
create cnf-files
reset all
When I try this, it does not work. I think its because I am not applying the changes to the 7975G phones explicitly.
Can anyone tell me how to do that or what I am doing wrong?
On a side note, its pretty silly that Cisco shows these settigns int he phone's GUI, but denies the ability to make changes.
Thanks,

Hi Brook,
I'm going through a similar issue right now and I think I found the solution --
First, create an ephone-template that has all the parameters you need:
ephone-template 10
service phone daysBacklightNotActive 1,7
service phone backlightOnTime 08:30
service phone backlightOnDuration 09:00
service phone backlightIdleTimeout 00:15
service phone displayOnWhenIncomingCall 10
Then apply the ephone-template to the ephone's:
ephone xx
ephone-template 5
Then regenerate the cnf files and reset the phones:
no create cnf
create cnf
reset all
I believe that should work, but if not, hopefully it'll put you in the right direction. Please be sure and post the results.
Regards,
Brandon

I just realized my examples used different template tag #'s -- just make sure you use the same tags when you implement.
ephone-template 10
service ...
ephone xx
ephone-template 10
