Managing the phonebook, Adding a contact

Using the web interface

Managing the phonebook

Select Phone Book.

Here, you can add, change and delete contacts. You can also import existing contacts.

When you call or are called by a contact who is already in the phonebook, that person’s name is displayed on the screen.

Adding a contact

Enter the contact’s name under Name:

Enter the contact’s phone number or URI under Number/URI. Information about URI can be found on pages 42–43.

The way the number can be written may depend on the SIP PBX being used, but normally you can use:

•Complete phone number, including country code

•Phone number, including area code

•Local phone number only

•Internal speed dial number (with company’s own PBX)

•URI, e.g. sip:user@company.com

•URI with IP address, e.g. sip:10.10.1.100 (within a local network)

Click on Add contact.

Using the web interface

Editing contacts

Click on the Edit contact button after the contact you want to change.

Edit the contact and click on Save contact.

Deleting contacts

Click on the Erase contact button after the contact you want to delete.

Confirm that you want to delete the contact.

You can also delete all contacts by pressing the Erase all button.

Importing contacts

You can import contacts from a comma separated values (CSV) file. One way of creating a CSV file is using Microsoft Excel and saving the file in CSV format.

Enter the names of the contacts in the first column and their phone numbers or URIs in the second. Do not use hyphens or spaces in the number. Note that Excel ignores zeros at the beginning of numbers. The cells must therefore be formatted as text.

Information about URI can be found on pages 44–45.

CSV files can also be created using software that can save in unformatted text format. Write a name, followed by a semi-colon and number – one contact on each line. When you save the file, give it a csv extension instead of txt.
