Removing "Digium Asterisk" Text From Status Bar on Digium Phones

Issue:

The text "Digium Asterisk" or "Digium Switchvox" is visable in the status bar (the black bar area above the displayed logo) of the customer's Digium phones.

 

Solution:

This text is viewable when a custom logo is used. To remove the text, discontinue the use of custom logos:

  1. Using Asterisk with DPMA: In the file res_digium_phone.conf, custom logos are designated with the following parameters in the sections for each phone:

    • d70_logo_file

    • d50_logo_file

    • d40_logo_file

    These lines can be commented out or removed entirely.

  2. In the Asterisk CLI:

    1. Reload the DPMA module with the command 'module reload res_digium_phone.so'

    2. Reconfigure the phones with the command 'digium_phones reconfigure all'.

  3. Using XML: The XML field that configures the custom logo is the logo_file field. This setting is located in the <config> block of the XML file. Simply remove the field to disable the custom logo.

  4. Using Switchvox: Navigate to the Bulk-Modify Extensions function and select all the extensions registered to the Switchvox. Below, go to Phone Settings > select a phone type > Idle Screen. In the provided dialog window, click the red X to remove the custom logo.

  5. Using Web Interface: Navigate to the Preferences tab. There, under the header for Idle Screen Image, click the red X to remove the custom logo.
