Introduction
The Personal Directory PC Utility provides a faster, easier way to create or modify a Personal Directory for an M3904 or
M3905 Meridian Digital Telephone. You can enter names and numbers into a Personal Directory file on your PC, and
download (Program) the file directly from the PC to the M3904 or M3905 telephone through a serial port connection.
You can also upload (Read) a directory from an M3904 or M3905 to a PC and modify the directory. Note: The Personal
Directory PC Utility Software is compatible with the Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows 2000 operating systems.
Install the Personal Directory PC Utility Cartridge
Your PC connects to the Personal Directory PC Utility Cartridge through an RS-232-C serial cable. The Personal Directory
PC Utility Cartridge is a small cartridge that fits into either slot in footstand of the telephone. The Personal Directory PC
Utility Cartridge requires that you have an Accessory Connection Module (ACM) installed in your telephone (See the
Accessory Connection Module Installation Guide for more information). Check with your Nortel Networks distributor for
the recommended transformer for use with the M3900 Series cartridge accessories.
