Customizing Remote Phone Book File

Remote Phone Book File Elements
Yealink IP phones support two template files: Menu.xml and Department.xml.
The Menu.xml file defines the group/department of a remote phone book. The Department.xml file defines contact lists
for a department/group, which is nested in Menu.xml file.
The following table lists the elements you can use to add groups or contacts in the remote phone book file. We recom-
mend you do not edit these elements.
