IP Softphone 2050 Directories

The IP Softphone 2050 uses two directories for maintaining and accessing contacts: the Local Directory, stored on your local hard drive, and the CS 1000 Directory, stored on your server.

•“Local Directory” on page 29

•“CS 1000 Directory” on page 30

Local Directory

The IP Softphone 2050 Local Directory lets you store as many phone directories on your computer as you need. You can use the Shortcut Bar to organize your contacts into smaller groups of shortcut links.

You can use the Local Directory to:

•Link to external directories such as Outlook, Act, and LDAP.

•Dial from external directories.

•Save contacts locally to your computer.

•Filter long directories so they are easier to use.

Note: Do not confuse the IP Softphone 2050 Local Directory with the CS 1000 Directory (accessible by clicking Directory on the toolbar).

The Shortcut Bar on the left side of the window lists all groups of shortcut links, including:

•Local Directory—main directory contacts

•Quick Dials—a built-in group for selecting shortcuts to contacts
