Address Book - Avaya 1230 Administration

Address Book

Overview
The IP Deskphone with SIP software supports two modes of the Address Book:
1. NETWORK — In this mode, the IP Deskphone downloads the user's Address Book from the
network. New Address Book entries are uploaded to the network
2. LOCAL — In this mode, the Address Book is created and stored locally on the IP
Deskphone. A part of the Address Book can be downloaded from the network and added to
the content of the local Address Book
The size of the Address Book is specified by the MAX_ADDR_BOOK_ENTRIES parameter. The
MAX_ADDR_BOOK_ENTRIES parameter limits the total number of entries in the Address Book
(including both downloaded records and records added manually). The default value of this
parameter is 1000 (permitted values are 0 to 1000).
Note:
The MAX_ADDR_BOOK_ENTRIES parameter only applies to LOCAL Address Book mode. In
NETWORK Address Book mode, the size of the Address Book is controlled through a service
package.
The MAX_DOWNLOAD_ADDR_BOOK_ENTRIES parameter specifies the maximum number of
Address Book entries that can be downloaded from the network in LOCAL Address Book mode. The
default value of this parameter is 1000 (permitted values are 0 to 1000).
In LOCAL Address Book mode, if MAX_DOWNLOAD_ADDR_BOOK_ENTRIES is larger than
MAX_ADDR_BOOK_ENTRIES then only MAX_ADDR_BOOK_ENTRIES are downloaded from the
network.
Address Book operation in LOCAL mode
The local Address Book is stored in the IP Deskphone flash memory in the file named directory.txt.
At phone startup, the content of this file is loaded into the IP Deskphone memory and forms a
working copy of the local Address Book.
There are two ways of downloading the Address Book from the network in LOCAL mode:
1. Downloading the Address Book from the Provisioning Server
The Address Book to be downloaded is specified in the device configuration file (or in the
user.cfg file when roaming profiles are used). The IP Deskphone downloads the specified
Address Book file, extracts Address Book entries up to the value of the
MAX_DOWNLOAD_ADDR_BOOK_ENTRIES (or MAX_ADDR_BOOK_ENTRIES if it is less
than MAX_DOWNLOAD_ADDR_BOOK_ENTRIES) parameter and saves them to the local
Address Book file. The existing content of the directory.txt file is replaced by the entries
downloaded from the Provisioning Server. The maximum number of entries in the
directory.txt file is limited by the MAX_ADDR_BOOK_ENTRIES parameter
2. Downloading the Address Book from IP Office (requires the IP Deskphone to be configured
to register on IP Office)
The download of the Address Book file(s) is initiated by IP Office. The IP Deskphone
downloads the Address Book file(s) from IP Office, extracts Address Book entries up to the
value of the MAX_DOWNLOAD_ADDR_BOOK_ENTRIES (or
MAX_ADDR_BOOK_ENTRIES if it is less than
