The Syntax

SET ... used to define the parameter being set

# ... used to define a class 

GOTO ... used to go to a specific class

IF ... used to filter models and go to a class


The Good Stuff

1. Acquire the images you want to use


2. Create a text (.txt) file called 46xxspecials.txt


3. Create validation to check the phone model and send it through to the correct class in the file.

NOTE: Each model can have its own class so each model can have a different selection of choices

4. Create the class and add the appropriate SET.. to it

NOTE: Remember to have the GOTO END end of each class with a #END at the end of the file otherwise it will not work.


5. Save 46xxspecials.txt in a folder called "CustomPhoneFiles"


6. Put the images you are using in "CustomPhoneFiles"



7. Zip "CustomPhoneFiles" into .tar 

NOTE: Please look at the CustomPhoneFiles for all relevant files.


8. Go into the Avaya Cloud Manager and go to Views>>>File Management>>>Customization File Management

9. Navigate to the relevant Customer


10. Upload the CustomPhoneFiles.tar file


11. Go to Avaya Cloud Web Manager and Refresh Customization Files

NOTE: Once triggered, the refresh can take up to 20mins to go live so grab a hot cocoa while you wait


12. Reboot the phone and within the settings, you should be able to select the new background and screensaver if IMAGE_DISPLAY was used then the chosen image should be selected on boot. 


The END
