Backing up the Local Contacts
Yealink IP phones support storing all local contacts to a contact file named <MAC>-contact.xml.
You can back up this file to the server, avoiding data loss. Once the contacts update, the IP
phone will automatically upload this file to the provisioning server or a specific server. If a
contact file exists on the server, the file will be overridden. The IP phone will request to
download the <MAC>-contact.xml file according to its MAC address from the server during
auto provisioning.
The contact file is named after the MAC address of the IP phone. MAC address, a unique
12-digit serial number assigned to each phone, can be obtained from the bar code on the back
of the IP phone. For example, if the MAC address of an IP phone is 00156574B150, the name of
the contact file is 00156574b150-contact.xml (lowercase).
