Remote Phone Book

The remote phone book is a centrally maintained phone book, stored on the remote server. Users only need the access
URL of the remote phone book. The IP phone can establish a connection with the remote server and download the
phone book, and then display the remote phone book entries on the phone.
Yealink phones support up to 5 remote phone books. The remote phone book is customizable.
Note
We recommend you to download less than 5000 remote contacts from the remote server.
