Local Directory
IP phones maintain a local directory. The local directory can store up to 1000 contacts and 48
groups (47 groups for CP860 and CP920 IP phones). When adding a contact to the local
directory, in addition to name and phone numbers, you can also specify the account, ring tone
and group for the contact. Contacts and groups can be added either one by one or in batch
using a local contact file. Yealink IP phones support both *.xml and *.csv format contact files,
but only support *.xml format download for local contact file.
Contacts can be configured to have a backup on the provisioning server or a specific server.
The contact file format is *.xml.
Customizing a Local Contact File
You can add contacts one by one on the IP phone directly. You can also add multiple contacts
at a time and/or share contacts between IP phones using the local contact template file. After
setup, place the template file to the provisioning server and specify the access URL of the
template file in the configuration files. The existing local contacts on the IP phones will be
overridden by the downloaded local contacts.
You can ask the distributor or Yealink FAE for local contact template. You can also obtain the
local contact template online:
http://support.yealink.com/documentFront/forwardToDocumentFrontDisplayPage. For more
information on obtaining the local contact file, refer to Obtaining Boot Files/Configuration
Files/Resource Files on page 142.
