If the system is equipped with a messaging server with a phonebook service, the Central Phonebook on

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 handset
by entering an empty value for the corresponding parameter.
The parameter can be set specifically for each PBX subscription on the handset and is accessed from
