Chapter 11: Using USB Flash Drives with
your phone
If your telephone has a USB interface and you have a USB (Universal Serial Bus) flash drive
(also called a thumb drive or memory stick), you can log into your phone from anywhere in the
world, add contacts to your Contacts list from an E-mail or other PC software program, and
display pictures from the device on your phone as a screensaver. You can also copy your
contact list from your phone to a USB flash drive, replace the contents of your phone's current
contact list with those on the USB flash drive, or temporarily use the flash drive's contacts
instead of your phone's contact list, subject to your administrator's permission.
Note:
The 9620L IP Telephone does not have a USB interface.
Avaya offers a PC application called Avaya one-X ™ Deskphone USB Companion to help set
up your USB device/phone options. Your administrator has certain setup responsibilities and
can then help you determine which options are available to you and how to use the tool to set
them up. Additionally, your administrator may provide you with a USB device with a pre-
programmed Extension and Password in it, or may provide you with a PC-based tool for putting
this information on a USB device. You can then use the USB device to log in to the administered
Extension and Password automatically, from any telephone in your system.
Note:
USB Login: If you have automatic USB login capability, the only Contacts you can see are
those on the USB device itself. Note that when you use the USB login, the Log Out menu
option is not available to you; the only way you can log your phone out is by removing the
USB device.
After setup, inserting the flash drive into the telephone's USB jack produces either a list of USB
actions/options or a display message notifying you that you cannot proceed because your
device is not supported or the device exceeds the telephone's available power. Whether power
is provided to the phone's USB interface depends on how the phone is powered and
administration settings. Only FAT or FAT32 file systems are currently supported; USB drives
with NTFS file systems are not supported. Multiple LUNS are not supported.
Adding contacts from an external file to your contacts list
Use a USB flash drive to add contacts from an external file to your contacts list. Keep in mind
that your contacts list cannot have more than 250 incoming entries. Contact files merged or
written to the phone's contacts list must be in a specific format. One way to ensure that the
file is in the proper format is to export your telephone's Contacts list to your USB device, which
