10.2 Using the Phone Book
Dialing manually is fine for a connection that you need to make only once, or only infrequently. For connections
that you will use more often, there is an internal phone book that will remember the connection details for you. The
phone book can get call information from manual entry, the ZIP Server, or your own call history. Regardless of how
the information is filled out, a phone book entry has the following parts:
♦
Device name: The name of the device (tscp), or address/hostname (tscp, sip, rtp)
♦
Group name: Only used for TSCP
♦
Call Type: TSCP, N/ACIP SIP, or RTP
♦
Screen name: How this connection appears in your phone book
♦
Group password: For TSCP connections, if needed
♦
Dial Bit: Up to eight phonebook entries can be assigned to GPIO bits for remote control. See Chapter 12,
Ancillary Data
2, Ancillary Data for more information on using dial bits
♦
Redial Mode: If this call is abnormally terminated for whatever reason, from network failures to power
loss, it can be redialed automatically. This field chooses how many attempts are made to automatically
redial, or if the Z/IP ONE should try to redial forever. It can also be set to use whatever the system default
redial setting is, in the Setup->System menu.
♦
Lastly, you will have the option to Save, or Save with Codec. Both save the details to your phone book, but
the second option takes a snapshot of the current settings in System->Audio Codec and saves them with the
phone book entry. Every time you call this contact, these codec settings will be used instead of the current
global settings. Use this if one of your contacts has different coding requirements.
A phone book entry can be edited at any time after it is saved.
Manual Phone Book Entry
You can enter a phone book item manually in the same manner as you would dial manually. The only differences are
the bits of information in the list above that aren’t present on the manual connect screen: dial bits and redial mode.
From the front panel, choose Phonebook, then Manual add. From the web page, use the Auto tab of the Autodial
application, and click Add. Manually adding an entry via the web page is done the same way as it is on the front
panel, rather than via the shorthand notation used on the web page’s manual dial screen.
