Importing Address Books
If you have exported an address book in *.csv format, e.g. from a COMmander 6000 that is
using an older firmware version or from a different PBX, you can import the contact data in that
file to All contacts view and then assign the contacts to one or several contact groups. If the
*.csv import originates from an old telephone book export, the system automatically assigns

created.
