3.1.16 Local Contact Directory

The phone maintains a local contact directory. The directory can be downloaded from the boot server and edited locally. Contact information from previous calls may be easily added to the directory for convenient future access. The directory is the central database for several other features including speed-dial, distinctive incoming call treatment, presence, and instant messaging.

	Configuration file:	Set whether the directory uses volatile storage on the
	ipmid.cfg	phone (required on the IP 500 platform for directories
		greater than 25 entries).
		• For more information, see 4.6.1.11 Directory
		<directory/> on page 93.
	XML file:	A sample file named 000000000000-directory~.xml
	000000000000-direc-	(Note extra “~” in the file name) is included with the
	tory.xml	application file distribution. This file can be used as a
		template for the per-phone <Ethernet address>-direc-
Central		tory.xml directories (edit contents then rename to
		<Ethernet address>-directory.xml). It also can be used
(boot		to seed new phones with an initial directory (edit con-
server)
		tents than remove “~” from file name). Telephones
		without a local directory, such as new units from the fac-
		tory, will download the 00000000000-directory.xml
		directory and base their initial directory on it. These
		files should be edited with an XML editor.
