Local Directory
Yealink Skype for Business phones also maintain a local directory. The T48G/T46G/T42G/T41P
Skype for Business phones can store up to 1000 contacts. The T40P Skype for Business phones
can store up to 100 contacts. When adding a contact to the local directory, in addition to name
and phone numbers, you can also specify the ring tone and group for the contact. Contacts can
be added either one by one or in batch using a local contact file. Yealink Skype for Business
phones support both *.xml and *.csv format contact files, but only support *.xml format
download for local contact file.
Customizing a Local Contact File
You can add contacts one by one on the phone directly. You can also add multiple contacts at a
time and/or share contacts between phones using the local contact template file. After setup,
place the template file to the provisioning server and specify the access URL of the template file
in the configuration files. The existing local contacts on the phones will be overridden by the
downloaded local contacts.
You can ask the distributor or Yealink FAE for local contact template. You can also obtain the
local contact template online:
h ttp://support.yealink.com/documentFront/forwardToDocumentFrontDisplayPage .
For more information on obtaining the local contact file, refer to refer to Obtaining
Configuration Files/Resource Files on page 96.
