Central Phonebook

If the system is equipped with a messaging server with a phonebook service, the Central
Phonebook on that server can be accessed from the handset. The number to be used is set
to default 999999. It can be changed by editing parameters in a Number or a template.
If the system is not equipped with a Central Phonebook, this menu option can be removed
from the handset by entering an empty value for the corresponding parameter.
The parameter can be set specifically for each PBX subscription on the handset and is
