Polycom Directory xml file

Posted by ipfreely on Wed, 11/25/2009

What is the best way to call this file, for handsets to pick it up?
Do you rename it by MAC Address?
What if I want multiple phones sharing the same directory, should I just rename it and manually edit the ${MAC}.cfg file?

Thanks,
Chris A

its macaddr-directory~.xml and its in whatever subdirectory you define in CONTACTS_DIRECTORY of the mac.cfg file. your polycom phone uploads this file whenever entries are added to the contact directory of the phone; if you push a new file after entries are added to the phone they will blow away all the previous entries.

Hi Erik,
I tried entering a contact on a polycom phone manually, the config file lists the CONTACTS_DIRECTOY as Contacts in the .cfg file, but nothing get uploaded when I enter the contact at the phone, any thoughts?

Thanks,
