Managing External Contacts

If you have been configured as a system phone user by the system administrator, then you can
also add, edit and delete some external directory contacts.
• This only applies to external directory contacts entered locally into configuration of the
telephone system to which you are logged in.
• External directory contacts imported by the system from other sources cannot be edited.
However, if a local entry is created with the same name or number as an imported entry, the
imported entry is discarded in favor of the local one.
