Adding Contacts From An External File To Your Contacts List - Avaya J189 Using Manual

Avaya offers a PC application Avaya one-X
USB device phone options. Your administrator has certain setup responsibilities and can then help
you determine the options that are available to you and how to use the tool to set them up.
The USB profile login feature is provisioned by the administrator. You can log on to the deskphone
based on the USB profile on the USB flash drive connected to the phone. In the USB profile login,
only the contacts saved on the USB drive are displayed. You can log out by removing the USB
drive.
If you insert the flash drive into the USB jack, the phone displays either a list of USB actions or
options, a message that your phone does not support the device, or a message that the phone
does not have adequate power to support the device. Power supply to the USB interface depends
on the administration settings and on how you have powered the phone. The phone supports USB
drives with FAT or FAT32 file systems and does not support USB drives with NTFS file systems
and multiple LUNs.

About this task
Use a USB flash drive to add contacts from an external file to your contacts list. The contacts list
can contain only 250 entries. Contact files merged or written to the contacts list on the phone must
be in a specific format. One way to ensure that the file is in the proper format is to export the
contacts list of your deskphone to your USB device, which automatically creates a formatted file.
Avaya also provides a spreadsheet tool that uses macros to convert your Outlook contacts into the
Contacts format that the phone uses. For information on this tool, search for Avaya one-X
Companion on the Avaya support site at www.avaya.com/support.
Note:
If your administrator has made a special application available that allows you to log in to your
phone through a USB device, and you log in using that method, the only contacts you can see
are those on the USB device.
Procedure
1. Plug the USB device into the jack near the center top edge of your phone.
2. Press Select or OK to select Merge file and phone contacts.
The phone displays the Merge option only when both the USB file and the phone have
contacts.
