- Migrations to check that phones show the correct extension and are registered to CUCM.
The steps to generate a Screenshot report are:
- Open the Screenshot Wizard.
- Build a list of phones by searching for registered phones on CUCM.
- The wizard checks and prepares the phones, takes the screenshots and generates the HTML report.

How To Generate a Screenshot Report (one-minute presentation):
Sample Screenshot Reports in various styles
Screenshot reports of Cisco phones are generated in minutes by the screenshot wizard of UPLINX Phone Control Tool (min PRO license required) in 3 report styles and CSV:
Cisco network and telephony administrators use the screenshot report to visually verify the state of Cisco IP phone displays across an entire CUCM cluster in one operation — confirming correct extensions, line labels, and registration status after phone migrations, CUCM upgrades, or onboarding of new phones without visiting each desk. The report is the fastest way to audit background image deployment results, confirming that corporate logos and wallpapers were correctly downloaded and rendered on every targeted phone model after a bulk deployment via the UPLINX Background Image Wizard.
Each report entry shows the phone model, device name, extension, IP address, date/time, and the captured screen image, giving administrators documented evidence for change management records or helpdesk escalations. The screenshot wizard searches CUCM for registered phones, prepares and accesses each phone's web server automatically, and produces the HTML or CSV report in a single run — no manual access to individual phones required.
