Server to IP Phone Download Behavior
The software that reads directory files from the server, loads the file’s contents into the phone's NVRAM when the phone
is booting. Directory entries in the NVRAM that originate from a server directory file are “owned” by the server.
During the boot process both directory files are read, combined into a single list, and any duplicate entries are deleted
from the list. Any entries in this list that are not already in the phone's NVRAM are added to the NVRAM and flagged as
being owned by the server. Likewise, any entries in the NVRAM that are owned by the server, but are no longer in one of
the server's directory files, are removed from the NVRAM. Entries made from the IP phone UI are never touched.
Directory List Limitations
The following table indicates the maximum characters for each line and field in the Directory List.
Note:
Duplicate entries are recognized by the IP phone as those that contain the same name, URI number, and line number.
The label and mode attribute (i.e. public or private) are not taken into consideration by the IP phone when comparing
entries.
Directory List Limitations
Maximum length of a line 255 characters
Maximum length of a name 15 characters for all phones except the
6867i. The 6867i has variable character
lengths and automatically truncates
names that are too long).
Maximum length of a URI 45 characters
Maximum number directory entries in the NVRAM 200 entries
Maximum number directory entries in the NVRAM with the "public" attribute
(6757i CT only)
50 entries
