Image File Paths

Last Updated : Aug 14, 2024 |

You can use the following types of file paths for file name:

Option

Description

Simple Path

You can specify files using just the file name. For example:

  • SET BACKGROUND_IMAGE image1.jpg

  • This assumes that the files are in the root of the file server specified in the DHCP information or set through the phone menus during installation.

  • You can also set the file server using HTTPSRVR and TLSSVR commands.

Relative Path

You can specify a path relative to the folder on the file server that the phone uses. For example:

  • SET BACKGROUND_IMAGE images/image1.jpg"

  • Not supported when using the IP Office as the file server.

Absolute Path

You can specify a path relative to the root directory of the file server, regardless of any HTTPDIR or TLSDIR settings commands to use a specific directory.

For example:

  • SET BACKGROUND_IMAGE /files/images/image1.jpg

  • Not supported when using the IP Office as the file server.

URL File Path

You can use files hosted on another HTTP file server by using a full URL enclosed in " " quotation marks.

For example:

  • SET BACKGROUND_IMAGE "http://files.example.com/image1.jpg"

  • This feature requires the J100 phones to use J100 R4.1.0.0 or higher firmware.

Using Macros

You can include the following macros in a file path. The phone replaces the macro with the matching value when requesting the file:

  • "$SERIALNO" = The phone serial number in uppercase.

  • "$MACADDR" = The phone MAC address, in lowercase and without colons.

  • "$MODEL4" = The phone 4-character model number in uppercase.
