XML Idle Screen Enhancements
Does anyone know if there is updated documentation for the latest firmware 1.1.6.16 with respect to XML and Idle Screen programming?
Also, the release notes mention the ability to display the Missed Calls with a custom screen, yet I see no way to enable that either...any help most appreciated. My customers really like the new Grandstream sets.
Alarson, currently the idle screen will only be downloaded at the bootup time. This will not help you to change the idle screen to reflect missed calls. It require server side based on the phone activity(such as missed a call), to send information back to the phone and then the phone will request new idle screen, this feature is not implemented in the phone either.
Alarson: Very good question, this is something GS engineering implemented a new variable inside the XML defination for Idle screen, along with that, DND(Do Not Disturb) are also implemented.
However, the document is not updated yet, we will soon.
THe document you can refer to: http://www.grandstream.com/documents/XMLApplicationGuide.pdf
Perhaps you can just tell us what the XML variable is then? I have already explained how to add the softkeys back to the custom screen in this forum topic, however this variable is the last piece of the puzzle for the idle screen.
Dear gstreammkt,
i thought that XML IDLE SCREEN can be downloaded only by requesting the download via menu (Download XML Idle Screen), and not automatically at startup.
You are saying that the screen can be downloaded automatically at bootup time?
Is this enabled by default?
Thank you i.a.
QSS: Yes, besides trigging it from LCD menu, every time when GXP boots up, it will try to download XML idle screen as well.
joshpatten: Please check the new document for XML programming for idle screen, it contains DND(Do not Disturb), MissCall, Forward, etc, switchs or variables defination for you to program the XML file. You can find it in http://www.grandstream.com/documents/XMLApplicationGuide.pdf
Enjoy!
The link is wrong.
The link for the new document is:
http://grandstream.com/documents/XML_Application_Guide_Rev1.1.pdf
The variable name misCall in the document is wrong. The right name is missCall.
The condition type callFwded don't work for here.
