3.1.17 Local Contact Directory
The phone maintains a local contact directory. The directory can be downloaded from
the boot server and edited locally. Contact information from previous calls may be
easily added to the directory for convenient future access. The directory is the central
database for several other features including speed-dial, distinctive incoming call
treatment, presence, and instant messaging.
Central
(boot
server)
Configuration file:
sip.cfg
Set whether the directory uses volatile storage on the
phone (required on the IP 500 platform for directories
greater than 25 entries).
• For more information, refer to 4.6.1.13 Directory
<directory/> on page 128.
XML file:
000000000000-direc-
tory.xml
A sample file named 000000000000-directory~.xml
(Note the extra “~” in the filename) is included with the
application file distribution. This file can be used as a
template for the per-phone <Ethernet address>-direc-
tory.xml directories (edit contents, then rename to
<Ethernet address>-directory.xml). It also can be used
to seed new phones with an initial directory (edit con-
tents, then remove “~” from file name). Telephones
without a local directory, such as new units from the fac-
tory, will download the 00000000000-directory.xml
directory and base their initial directory on it. These files
should be edited with an XML editor. These files can be
downloaded once per reflash.

(if enabled)
None.
Local Phone User
Interface
The user can edit the directory contents at will. Changes
will be stored in the phone’s flash file system and
backed up to the boot server copy of <Ethernet
address>-directory.xml if this is configured. When the
phone boots, the boot server copy of the directory, if
present, will overwrite the local copy.
