	Note		If a user makes a change to the local contact directory, there is a five second
			timeout before it is uploaded to the boot server as <mac-address>-directory.cfg.

		000000000000-direct		“~” in the filename) is included with the application file distribution.
				This file can be used as a template for the per-phone <Ethernet
		ory.xml
				address>-directory.xmldirectories (edit contents, then rename to
				<Ethernet address>-directory.xml). It also can be used to seed new
				phones with an initial directory (edit contents, then remove “~” from
				file name). Telephones without a local directory, such as new units
				from the factory, 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.
