Polycom SIP 3.1 manual Expanded Macros, Contact Directory File Format on page, Useful Tips

Administrator’s Guide SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP

			The macros provide a generic and easy to manage way to define the prompt to
			be displayed to the user, the maximum number of characters that the user can
			input, and action that the phone performs once all user input has been
			collected. The macros are case sensitive.
			If a macro attempts to use a prompt that is disabled, the macro execution fails.
			A prompt is not required for every macro.
			Expanded Macros
			Expanded macros are prefixed with the “^” character and are inserted directly
			into the local directory contact field. For more information, refer to Local
			Contact Directory File Format on page 4-10.
			Configuration File Changes

			The configuration file changes and the enhanced feature key definitions can be
			included together in one configuration file.
