Solved Yealink Screensaver
-
OK so it wasn't as I was expecting but it works like this.
Create several different screensavers (say 4) each with the logo in a different corner of the screen and upload each of them to the phone.
When the screensaver refreshes (every 15 seconds in my case) the logo fades in and moves to the next "location" (really it just loads the next screensaver).
But the total size of the screensaver must match whatever resolution the phone has, in my case 800x480. So I have 4 screensavers at that size, each with a different logo in a different corner.

@dustinb3403 yeah, that is not what the T38 did. Interesting.

@jaredbusch it was weird to think about it working like that, as nothing in the description says that you can have multiple screensavers.
I found an old forum post on yealink's website about using it to post pictures of family etc and that is what made me realize that multiple stills would work for "moving" screensavers.
I gave it a shot and it worked.
Now I just need to get the dang RPS working so I can push out screensavers on demand (IE if a client shows up and we want to brand our phones with their logo etc).

RPS or that self hosted thing? Those are two different things.
-
@jaredbusch The self hosted for now (I thought it was titled RPS)
-
Ah yeah it's called Device Management Platform, totally different name.

Maybe it is. I have been too busy to check it out.
But the real RPS is ran by them because all Yealinks phones after a certain firmware have zero touch capabilities and will reach out to Yealink’s public RPS.

@jaredbusch do you know if their ZT solution is a paid service?

Not paid but also annoying to setup. I have a short thread on it someplace.
-
Yea I'm still not sure why this device doesn't register with the DMP server, it just shows offline.
Which is annoying, and I see no way to remove the phone and readd it. . .
-
I wonder if iptables or selinux is stopping the communication. . . wouldn't be surprising.
-
selinux is disabled, and I have all of the ports listed in their documentation added to firewalld. . .
