(“cutom1.jpg” and “cutom2.png”).
Method 2:
local_contact.data.url = tftp://192.168.10.25/contact.xml
local_contact.image.url = tftp://192.168.10.25/photo.tar
For more information on generating a contact avatar file “photo.tar”, refer to Preparing the
Tar Formatted File on page 332.
During the auto provisioning process, the IP phone connects to the provisioning server
“192.168.10.25”, and downloads the local contact file “contact.xml” and avatar file
“photo.tar”.
Method 3:
If the local contact file (ContactData.xml) and custom avatars (photo.tar) are compressed as
a tar formatted file (e.g., Contact.tar), you can only configure the following parameter to
upload contacts and avatars:
local_contact.data_photo_tar.url = tftp://192.168.10.25/Contact.tar
For more information on generating “photo.tar” and “Contact.tar”, refer to Preparing the
Tar Formatted File on page 332.
During the auto provisioning process, the IP phone connects to the provisioning server
“192.168.10.25”, and downloads the file “Contact.tar”.
Note
Scenario C - Using the Custom Avatar and Custom Icon for Contact
This scenario is only applicable to SIP-T48G/S IP phones.
Scenario Conditions I:
Provisioning server URL: tftp://192.168.10.25.
The custom avatars and icons: “cutom1.jpg” and “cutom2.png”. They are all uploaded to
the provisioning server in advance.
Scenario Conditions II:
Provisioning server URL: tftp://192.168.10.25.
The custom avatars: “cutom1.jpg” and “cutom2.png”. They are compressed as a tar
Note that if you are using method 3 to specify custom avatar for contacts, the name of the avatars
TAR file must be photo.tar (case-sensitive), and the name of the contact XML file must be
ContactData.xml (case-sensitive).
If you have configured to back up the local contacts to the server, the IP phone will download the
contact file “<MAC>-contact.xml” from the backup path from the server and display the
downloaded contacts in the local directory list. The contacts in the local contact file “contact.xml”
downloaded from the provisioning server don’t take effect. But the avatars downloaded take
effect. For more information on how to back up the local contacts, refer to Backing up the Local
Contacts on page 343.
