Configuring Directories

The Polycom VVX 201 phone supports remote directories including Common and Personal Phone
Lists (third-party contacts) as well as Custom Contact Directories (internal users). While some of the
remote directory configuration can be performed by you, it cannot be completed without the help
of a Nextiva Technician. As a user, you can create a list of contacts as a CSV file that a Nextiva
Technician can use to integrate into a directory. Follow the steps below to create a CSV file of
contacts ready for upload:
Creating a List of Contacts:
Up to 500 third-party contacts to be imported to the account at one time. Each account can have up
to 10,000 contacts total. However, the Polycom VVX 201 phone will only store a maximum of 99
contacts at a time.
To avoid errors when uploading a contact list, the list needs to be formatted as a .csv file. The names
and numbers should be entered as shown below (Figure 4-6). For best results, use a simple text
editor such as Microsoft Notepad
cause errors due to additional formatting added by those programs.
