Mitel 6900 series handsets have the ability to display background images and screen savers. Both of these types of image can be customized as required.

Handset images can be created on the server and then assigned to phones as a background image or screen saver through a Configuration Profile.

Adding / Editing Handset Images

To create or edit a handset image on the server, an image file for each Model type must be provided. The image sizes for the models currently supported are shown in the table below:

Any images file uploaded must also have the following properties:

• JPEG format
• 24 or 32bit depth
• Less than 1MB in size

To add a handset image, press the 'New' button and enter a unique description into the window that appears. Upload images for all handset models and then press 'Save'.

Background Images

To use a handset image as a background image, the configuration option 'Background Image' must be used. Edit or create a new configuration profile, add a new configuration option for 'Background Image' and then select the handset image from the list provided. If applied to the [Default] configuration profile, the background image will display on all phones. Background images can then be overridden in specific configuration files if required for different departments etc.

If a dark image is provided, it may not be possible to read the extension number, time and other idle screen properties. If this is the case, the 'Idle Screen Font Color' configuration option can be used.

For information on using handset images in screen savers, please refer to the 6900 Screen Saver section.
