IP Softphone 2050 Installation Guide

Local Directory Interface

The IP Softphone 2050 Directory Interface allows the user to maintain a personal directory for
placing calls. The directory can be stored with the IP Softphone 2050 itself (by default in a local
file named Directory.mdb), or linked to external directories. Linking to LDAP, Outlook, Windows
Address Book (WAB), and ACT! directory types is supported.

Users can create, modify, and delete entries in the local directory, and can copy entries from
external directories, the redial list and the caller lists into the local directory (select an entry,
right-click and select “Add to Local Directory …”).

Directory lists can be filtered in simple or complex ways to show, for example, people whose last
name starts with “B” and who work for “Nortel”.

Ten items from each of the Quick Dial list, Caller list ad Redial list also viewable from the Primary
User Interface and the System Tray Interface.

The Quick Dial list is a shortcut to entries stored elsewhere (in the local directory or in an external
directory). Callers list and Redial list are stored as lists within the directory storage file of the IP
Softphone 2050. Some communications servers do not provide caller identification to the IP
Softphone 2050.
