Loading And Deleting Handset Directories To/From The Pc - Siemens Gigaset A580 IP Manual

Loading and deleting handset directories to/from the PC

The Web configurator has the following options for editing the directories of the
registered handsets.
u
Store the handset directories on a PC. Entries are stored in vCard format in a vcf
file on the PC. You can edit these files with an ASCII editor (e.g. Notepad/Editor
in Windows Accessories) and load them onto any registered handset. You can
also transfer directory entries to your PC address book (e.g. Outlook Express™
address book).
u
Copy contact details from your PC address book to handset directories. Export
the contacts, e.g. with Outlook Express ™ to vcf files (vCards) and copy them to
handset directories using the Web configurator.
u
Delete the directory on the handset. If you have edited the directory file (vcf file)
on the PC and would like to use this modified directory on the handset, you can
delete the current directory from the handset first.
Tip: Back up the current directory on your PC before deleting it. You can
then load it back onto the handset if the modified directory is affected by for-
matting errors and some, or all, of it cannot be loaded onto the handset.
Please note
u
You can find information on the vCard format (vcf ) on the Internet, e.g. under:
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard or www.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard
(You can set the display language at the bottom left-hand side in the navigation
area of the Web page.)
u
If you want to transfer a handset directory (vcf file) saved on the PC that con-
tains numerous entries to a Microsoft Outlook™ address book, please note the
following:
Microsoft Outlook™ only ever transfers the first (directory) entry from the vcf file
to its address book.
