Downloadable directory
In generic and Asterisk Open SIP environments, you can upload or update the global contacts
using the
.xml
file. The phone searches for any contacts at the reboot. If a new contact is
available, the phone encrypts the contact and stores it in the flash memory. The Directory group of
the phone displays the latest contacts.
Users of the phone cannot modify the contacts in the directory.
Note:
Avaya J129 IP Phone does not support Downloadable directory.
