How to change the language and background of the Cisco SPA504G
This tutorial shows how to change the language of your VOIP phone Cisco SPA 504G / SPA508G / SPA500 series (Firmware 7.5.5)
1. Download and install TFTPD32
2. Download SPA Phone Localization XML dictionaries (download both: english and your language) Update: Use Cisco Download center for more recent versions!
3. Extract the language ZIP or copy the (extracted) XML files to the TFTPD folder
4. Run TFTPD32, press [Show dir] to verify that your XML files are available as a tftp download
5. Log into the web interface of your phone (http://ip.of.your.phone/)
6. Switch over to Admin login: advanced (top right)
7. Insert your dictionary script (as one line) into [Voice] Regional -> Dictionary Server Script (at the bottom of the page), e.g.:
Dictionary_Server_Script ua=”na” serv=tftp://192.168.0.2/;
d0=English;x0=spa50x_30x_en_v755.xml;
d1=German;x1=spa50x_30x_de_v755.xml; / Dictionary_Server_Script
1 2 3 4 |
serv=tftp://192.168.0.2/;d0=English;x0=spa50x_30x_en_v755.xml;d1=German;x1=spa50x_30x_de_v755.xml<del> |
Replace 192.168.0.2 with the IP of your PC, d1=German and x1=spa50x_30x_de_v755.xml with your language and your language file.
8. Insert your language as used above (e.g. German) into the Change Language Selection-field below (as well as Locale)
9. [Submit All Changes], your phone should now reboot
10. You should notice the download of the XML files in the tftp Log viewer and your phone should talk in your language then
– if not, try disabling your windows firewall
How to change the background image
1. Place a 128 x 48 pixel bitmap (b/w, 2 bits, .BMP format) in the tftp folder
2. In the web interface set your bitmap URI at Voice -> Phone -> BMP Picture Download URL to your bitmap path, e.g.:
1 2 3 |
tftp://192.168.0.2/background.bmp |
Replace 192.168.0.2 with the IP of your PC and background.bmp with the name of your bitmap.
3. [Submit All Changes], your phone should now change the background image
