Example Speed Dial Configuration

The first time you deploy and reboot the phones with UC Software, a template contact directory file
named 00000000000-directory~.xml is loaded to the provisioning server. You can edit and use this
template file as a global contact directory for a group of phones or you can create your own per-phone
directory file. To create a global directory, locate the 00000000000-directory~.xml template in your UC
Software files and remove the tilde (~) from the file name. When you reboot, the phone substitutes the
global file with its own <MACaddress>-directory.xml which is uploaded to the server. If you want to
create a per-phone directory, replace <000000000000> in the global file name with the phone's MAC
address, for example, <MACaddress>-directory.xml.
On each subsequent reboot, the phone will look for its own <MACaddress>-directory.xml and then look
for the global directory. Contact directories stored locally on the phone may or may not override the
<MACaddress>-directory.xml on the server depending on your server configuration. The phone will
always look for a local directory or <MACaddress>-directory.xml before looking for the global directory.
For more information on how to use the template directory file 000000000000-directory~.xml, see
the Local Contact Directory.
Once you have renamed the directory file as a per-phone directory, enter a number in the speed dial
<sd> field to display a contact directory entry as a speed dial contact on the phone. Speed dial entries
automatically display on unused line keys on the phone and are assigned in numerical order.
