Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server or locally:
Local Contact Directory File Format
An example of a local contact directory is shown below. The subsequent table
provides an explanation of each element. Elements can appear in any order.
<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8” standalone=”yes” ?>
<directory>
<item_list>
<item>
<lb>Mr</lb>
<ln>Doe</ln>
<fn>John</fn>
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.
Central
(boot server)
Configuration file:
sip.cfg Set whether the directory uses volatile storage on the phone
(required on the SoundPoint IP 500 platform for directories greater
than 25 entries).
• For more information, refer to Local Directory <local/> on page
A-68 .
Specify whether or not the local contact directory is read only.
• For more information, refer to Local Directory <local/> on page
A-68 .
XML file:
000000000000-direct
ory.xml
A sample file named 000000000000-directory~.xml (Note the extra
“~” in the filename) is included with the application file distribution.
This file can be used as a template for the per-phone <Ethernet
address>-directory.xml directories (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.
For information on file format, refer to the next section, Local Contact
Directory File Format .
XML file: <Ethernet
address>-directory.
xml This file can be created manually using an XML editor.
For information on file format, refer to the next section, Local Contact
Directory File Format .
Local Local Phone User
Interface The user can edit the directory contents if configured in that way.
Changes will be stored in the phone’s flash file system and backed up
to the boot server copy of <Ethernet address>-directory.xml if this
is configured. When the phone boots, the boot server copy of the
directory, if present, will overwrite the local copy.
