GXV CUSTOMIZATION

XML PHONEBOOK

Introduction

The Grandstream GXV enables you to easily share and maintain a phonebook through the web. The XML- phonebook must be stored on a web-server. There are also applications where organizations wish to be able to have a centralized directory server and have all phones in the organization to sync up with the server periodical- ly.

How It Works and Configuration

A new set of configuration options will be introduced as following:

￿Enable Downloadable Phonebook (P330): NO/YES-HTTP/YES-TFTP (default NO). Possible values 0 (NO)/1 (HTTP)/2 (TFTP), other values ignored.

￿Phonebook XML Path (P331): This is a string of up to 128 characters that should contain a

path to the XML file. It MUST be in the host/path format. For example: “directo- ry.grandstream.com/engineering”

￿Remove manually edited entries on download (P333): YES/NO (default NO), possible values 0 (NO)/1 (YES), other values ignored

The feature will be activated when “Enable Downloadable Phonebook” is set to YES (HTTP or TFTP) AND a valid “Phonebook XML Path” is set.

When the device boots up and completed the provisioning routine, it will attempt to download the

gs_phonebook.xml file specified in “Phonebook XML Path” and process it as described in the next chapter. Please note that the phonebook file name is fixed, so you can not alter the phonebook file name based on your preference. During this process the LCD should display some messages to indicate that XML Phonebook download is in progress.

When the XML file is downloaded, GXV300x will parse it and extract the entries from it. If the “Remove manual- ly edited entries on download” option is set to No (by default), the device will keep ALL stored entries manually edited before, and insert the downloaded entries, and then save the phonebook. Otherwise ALL the existing phonebook entries on the phone will be erased and filled with the downloaded entries.

At any time, you can trigger an immediate download from by choosing the “Download Phonebook” in the GUI Phone Book Menu.
