| Danny-
There are only a few ways to do this- and unfortunately, under CCM4.X, I'm
not happy with any of them.
The by the book answer is to use the Idle Screen functionality. You'll see
a setting for the URL to set for idle, as well as the idle timeout timer,
on the Device Settings page under CCM Administrator. The URL must return a
valid CMXML object, containing the information you want to display. This
functionality works- I run it regularly.
However- under CCM4, the definition of 'idle' is a little bit funky. I've
had it kick in while I'm dialing before, replacing what I'm dialing and
stopping me from dialing more digits. You also almost lose the onhook
dialahead functionality- you have to exit from the idle screen first, then
onhook dial- a retraining step for the users.
I have seen this done with custom authored phone loads, which involve BTXML
authoring- as a university, you might be able to get some help from Cisco
to do this. I know that the 'managed' IP-PBX offering from Covad does this
on 7960's- I've seen them running- but that's using an MGCP load talking to
something other than Callmanager.
If you run the SIP image on the phone, it's MUCH simpler- just tell the
phone the name of a .bmp file on your TFTP server, and you're done- with no
loss of functionality. But, CCM4 doesn't make SIP phone administration
simple- it will work, but it will be a very manual process for you. CCM5
changes that, is my understanding- but the CCM5 SIP Phone load has other
oddities- your mileage may vary.
Hope this helps.

| That's true for the 7940/60 but for the 7912 you must need to do this:

| I believe this is ultimately true for the 79[46]0, but the 7912 handles screen
images quite well (considering what you're working with I guess).
If you search for 7912 logo on the cisco forums, you'll get tonnes of hits with
updated and corrected instructions. It took me a few times to get it right, but
eventually I did.
Something to look out for is that I found that the image you create is actually
a reverse of what you send, so if you would want an completely filled out
screen, your original image would be blank. I end up creating the image,
reversing it, and then using the reverse to create the screen logo.
The other thing is, is that the index number is what is used to trigger the
download of a new logo to the phone.
I think those were the only two biggies. Oh, and of course, unless you have some
graphics art background and a good graphics program, don't be to upset with what
appears on the phone screen. A pixel on the phone is much bigger than what is on
your screen and hence, WYSIWYG(A) does not really apply. ;)
I ended up enlarging the image on my screen to the size it would be on the
phone, and that gave me a great idea of what it looked like. I had to hold a
ruler to the screen at the time to make sure I was getting the right size, but
in the end it all worked out.
