Chapter 9: Using USB Flash Drives with
your phone
You can use Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive if your deskphone has a USB interface and you have
the permission of the administrator. When you log into your phone from a remote location, you can use
the USB flash drive to add contacts to your Contacts list from an E-mail or other PC software program,
and use the pictures from the device as screensaver on your phone.
Avaya offers a PC application Avaya one-X
®
Deskphone USB Companion to help set up your 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. Additionally, your administrator
may provide you with a USB device with a pre-programmed Extension and Password in it, or may provide
you with a PC-based tool for putting this information on a USB device. You can then use the USB device
to log in to the administered Extension and Password automatically, from any telephone in your system.
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 the phone is powered. The phone supports USB drives with FAT or FAT32 file systems
and does not support USB drives with NTFS file systems and multiple LUNs.
Adding contacts from an external file to your contacts list
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 phone's contacts list
must be in a specific format. One way to ensure that the file is in the proper format is to export
your the Contacts list of your deskphone to your USB device, which automatically creates a
properly formatted file. Avaya also provides a spreadsheet tool that uses macros to convert
your Outlook contacts into the Contacts format the phone uses. For information on this tool,
