When you place calls from call lists or directories, your phone will
automatically choose the protocol to use based on the information in the call
list or directory. When you set up a contact in your Local Contact Directory,
you can specify the protocol the contact uses to handle calls. This allows your
phone to automatically use the correct protocol when you dial the contact.

Searching and Dialing from the CMA Directory

CMA Directory that lists people and groups in your organization. You can
search for and dial people from this directory.

From the Search CMA screen, perform a quick search or group search to
find a person.
A quick search allows you to search using the person’s first or last name
(depending on how the directory is organized). A group search allows you
to search for all the groups in an organization (for example, HR,
Administration, Payroll, etc.), and then view the people that belong to
each group.
