Directory Transfer - Gigaset N510 IP PRO Manual

Deleting handset directories and downloading to/from the PC
You will find the functions for editing the telephone/address books (both referred to as
"directories" hereafter) on the Web page:
¢
Settings Directories
The Web configurator has the following options for editing the directories of the regis-
tered handsets.
u
Store the directories on a PC. Entries are stored in vCard format in a vcf file on the PC.
You can download these files onto every registered handset. You can also copy direc-
tory entries to your PC address book.
u
Copy contact details from your PC address book to handset directories. Export the con-
tacts in vcf files (vCards) and transfer them to directories for the handsets 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 load this mod-
ified directory to the handset, you can delete the current directory on the handset
before the transfer.
Tip: Back up the current directory on your PC before deleting it. You can then reload it
if the modified directory is affected by formatting errors and some, or all, of it cannot
be loaded onto the handset.
Please note
u
You can find information on vCard format (vcf ) on the Internet, e.g., at:
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard (English) or
www.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard (German)
(You can set the display language at the bottom left-hand side in the navigation
area of the Web page.)
u
If you wish to copy a directory (vcf file) with multiple entries stored on the PC to
the Microsoft Outlook™ directory, please proceed as follows:
Microsoft Outlook™ only ever transfers the first (directory) entry from the vcf file
to its address book.
Transfer rules
The directory entries from a vcf file that are loaded onto the handset will be added to the
directory. If an entry already exists for a name, it will either be supplemented or a new
entry for the name will be created. The process will not overwrite or delete any phone
numbers.
Please note
Depending on your device type, up to three entries with the same name are created
in the directory for each vCard – one entry per entered number.
