Scenario A - Capturing the Current Screen of the Phone
You can capture the screen display of the IP phone using the action URI. IP phones support
handling an HTTP or HTTPS GET request. The URI format is
http(s)://<phoneIPAddress>/screencapture. The captured picture can be saved as a BMP or
JPEG file.
You can also use the URI “http(s)://<phoneIPAddress>/screencapture/download” to capture
the screen display first, and then download the image (which is saved as a JPG file and named
with the phone model and the capture time) to the local system. Before capturing the phone’s
current screen, ensure that the IP address of the computer is included in the trusted IP address
for Action URI on the phone. For more information on the trusted IP address, refer to
Configuring Trusted IP Address for Action URI on page 744.
When you capture the screen display, the IP phone may prompt you to enter the user name
and password of the administrator if web browser does not remember the user name and
password for web user interface login.

- If it is the first time you capture the phone’s current screen using the computer, the
