[cisco-voip] adding logo to 7960

[Andre Reid]

Logo Displayed on 79XX Screen 


A non-Cisco logo can be displayed on the 79XX screen. Cisco's
documentation suggests the logo be a Windows Bitmap form (*.BMP) with
256 colors and 90 x 56 pixels in size. Only two colors are displayed,
black or white. The image must be saved in greyscale format. In GIMP it
is Image->Mode->Greyscale. If the size of the logo is larger then this
specification, the phone will rescale to fit (within reason). Microsoft
Paint and many other applications can be used to create the logo image. 

Once the image is created, place the *.BMP file on any web site
available to you (suggest /asterisk/mylogo.bmp, where the /asterisk
directory is not freely advertised). Modify the SIPDefault.cnt file
entry to point to the web site: logo_url:
"http://www.mywebserver.com/asterisk/logo.bmp" and reboot the Cisco
phone. Note: the smaller the logo file, the quicker it will load.
Typical logo files should be around 10k bytes. 

Note: 7940/7960 phones actually display two colors at 2-bit depth, or
four solid colors. For best results creating images/logos that don't
dither and degrade, use #000000 (black) and #FFFFFF (white or clear on
the LCD display), then #404040 (grey) and #808080 (dark gray) as your
alternate solid colors (or as the antialiasing colors for excellent
results). 

I apologize for the asterisk reference, this is just a copy/paste from
our wiki.

Aren't there only four shades on the 7960?  Therefore it should be
2-bit.

I get the following error when trying to convert my GIF to CIP:
Exception thrown processing image: File is not a valid GIF file

 

I've saved the file as 8bit greyscale, 8bit colour, monochrome, etc. No
luck.

 

Any ideas?
