Working with Directory Entries

Searching the Directory

© Polycom, Inc.
The directory on your Polycom HDX system stores dialing information that
helps you make calls quickly and easily. When a site listed in the directory calls
your system, the system displays the name on the screen when the call comes
in. If a site that calls you is not listed in the directory, you might be prompted
to save the contact information in the directory when the call ends.
If your system is registered with a global directory server, your directory
contains two types of entries:
• Local entries: Information about sites that you have added. These entries
are stored locally on your Polycom HDX system, and depending on your
system setup, you can remove or edit these entries. You can also assign
local entries to groups to make it easier to find numbers. Everyone at your
site who uses the system can use the entries you create, and you can use
the entries created by others. Users at other sites cannot access the local
entries on your system.
• Global entries: Information about other active sites that are registered
with the same Global Directory Server. These entries are stored on the
Global Directory Server, and you cannot edit them. You can make a local
copy if you want to make changes.
