Modifying the Startup and Disconnection Screens

You can modify the image files (JPEG or GIF image files) shown in the startup and disconnection screens.

Nothing Specified

Certain Images Specified

If no particular image is specified, the "connecting to hostname" (when the hostname parameter is specified) or "now connecting" animation is displayed at startup and the "disconnected hostname" (when the hostname parameter is specified) or "disconnected" is displayed at disconnection. You can modify the screens to show any image by providing images for the startup and disconnection screens and setting the parameters. The image size is automatically adjusted to the size specified in the video_width parameter. The display time for the specified screen at startup can also be specified.

<param name=open_image value="/local/images/opening.jpg"> ............................. 1

<param name=open_image_time value="3000"> ................................................... 2

<param name=close_image value="/local/images/closing.jpg"> ............................... 3

1 specifies the file name for the startup image screen.

2 specifies the display time for the startup image screen (in milliseconds).

3 specifies the file name for the disconnection image screen.

Note

You must use the absolute path name (name that begins with "/") to specify the path for the image file displayed

Tip

• At startup, the default character string that is displayed while a connection to the VB-C50i/VB-C50iR is being established is "now connecting", but there is also a parameter called "connect_msg" for changing this character string. For additional parameters for changing display character strings, see page 5-17.
• If the user's service time has been set, screen images are not displayed outside the specified time.
