Loading And Deleting Handset Directories To/From The Pc - Siemens GIGASET A580 User Manual

Web configurator – setting the phone using a PC

Loading and deleting handset directories to/from the PC.

The Web configurator has the following options for editing the directories of
the registered handsets.
u
Store the handset directories on a PC. Entries are stored in vCard format in a
vcf file on the PC. You can edit these files with an ASCII editor (e.g. Notepad/
Editor in Windows Accessories) and load them onto any registered handset.
You can also transfer directory entries to your PC address book (e.g. Outlook
Express™ address book).
u
Transfer contact details from your PC address book to handset directories.
Export the contacts, e.g. with Outlook Express ™ to vcf files (vCards) and
transfer them to handset directories 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 use this modified directory on the handset,
you can delete the current directory from the handset first.
Tip: Back up the current directory on your PC before deleting it. You can then
load it back onto the handset if the modified directory is affected by format-
ting errors and some, or all, of it cannot be loaded onto the handset.
Please note
u
You can find information on the vCard format (vcf) on the Internet, e.g.
under:
u
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard or www.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard
u
(You can set the display language at the bottom left-hand side in the navi-
gation area of the Web page.)
u
You can still load directories in tsv format from your PC to your handset.
u
If you want to transfer a handset directory (vcf file) saved on the PC that
contains numerous entries to a Microsoft Outlook™ address book, please
note the following:
u
Microsoft Outlook™ only ever transfers the first (directory) entry from the
vcf file to its address book.
Preconditions:
u
The handset can send and receive directory entries.
u
The handset is activated and is in idle status.
