Central phonebook

If the system is equipped with a messaging server with a phonebook service, the Central
Phonebook on that server can accessed from the telephone. 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 telephone by entering an empty value for the corresponding parameter.
The parameter can be set specifically for each PBX subscription on the telephone and is
accessed from Systems > System x > PBX Settings > Numbers. "System x" is replaced with
the subscription (System A - System H) that you are configuring.
Allowing spaces in Central phonebook
If the Central phonebook contains first names and/or family names that include spaces, it is
recommended to enable the parameter Central Phonebook Allows Space using WinPDM/
AIWS Device Manager. This makes it possible to search for contacts that include spaces.
1. Select Edit parameters for the handset device.
2. Select Systems > System X > Numbers.
3. Set Central Phonebook Allows Space parameter as one of the following:
Yes - The user can search for names that include spaces.
●
No - The user cannot search for names that include spaces.

Company phonebook
It is possible to create a phonebook that is administered centrally and uploaded to the telephone
from PDM/AIWS. If this feature is used, entries from Contacts and Company Phonebook are
merged. The Company Phonebook entries are locked and cannot be edited in the telephone.
Creating a company phonebook file
The company phonebook file (.cpb) is normally created from an Excel file using a script to
extract the information and create the company phonebook file (.cpb). The Excel file,
Company Phonebook.xls is delivered from your supplier.
