Phonebook Transfer; Deleting Directories And Loading To/From The Pc - Siemens Gigaset DX800A all in one Setup & User Manual

Phonebook Transfer:

Deleting directories and loading to/from the PC.

The Web configurator provides the following options for editing the directories of
the base and registered handsets.
u
Store the directories on a PC. Entries are stored in vCard format in a vcf file on the
PC. You can edit these files with an ASCII editor (e.g., Notepad/Editor in Windows
Accessories) and load them onto the base or any registered handset. You can
also copy directory entries to your PC directory.
u
Copy contact details from your PC directory to directories on the base and hand-
sets. Export the contacts in vcf files (vCards) and transfer them to directories for
the base and handsets using the Web configurator.
u
Delete the directory on the base/handset.
If you have edited the directory file (vcf file) on the PC and would like to load this
modified directory to the base/handset, you can delete the current directory on
the base/handset before the transfer.
Tip: Back up the current directory on your PC before deleting it. You can then
reload it if the modified directory is affected by formatting errors and some, or
all, of it cannot be loaded onto the base/handset.
Please note
u
You can find information on vCard format (vcf ) on the Internet e.g., at:
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard (English) or
www.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard (German)
(You can set the display language at the bottom left-hand side in the naviga-
tion area of the Web page.)
u
If you wish to copy a directory (vcf file) with multiple entries stored on the PC
to the Microsoft Outlook™ directory, please proceed as follows:
Microsoft Outlook™ only ever transfers the first (directory) entry from the vcf
file to its directory.
You can use the Gigaset QuickSync program (included with the phone) to
compare the directory on the base with the Outlook directory. You will find
it on the enclosed CD.
Prerequisites:
u
The base can send and receive directory entries.
u
The handset is activated and is in idle status.
