Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server or locally:
Time and Date Display
The phone maintains a local clock and calendar. Time and date can be
displayed in certain operating modes such as when the phone is idle and
during a call. The clock and calendar must be synchronized to a remote Simple
Network Time Protocol (SNTP) timeserver. The time and date displayed on
the phone will flash continuously until a successful SNTP response is received
to indicate that they are not accurate. The time and date display can use one of
several different formats and can be turned off.
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server or locally:
Central
(boot server)
XML file:
<Ethernet
address>-directory.
xml
The
<sd>x</sd>
element in the <Ethernet address>-directory.xml
file links a directory entry to a speed dial resource within the phone.
Speed dial entries are mapped automatically to unused line keys (line
keys are not available on the SoundStation IP 4000, 6000
and 7000)
and are available for selection within the speed dial menu. (Press the
up-arrow key from the idle display to jump to SpeedDial).
For more information, refer to Local Contact Directory on page
4-9.
Local Local Phone User
Interface
The next available Speed Dial Index is assigned to new directory
entries. Key pad short cuts are available to facilitate assigning and
modifying the Speed Dial Index value for entries in the directory. The
Speed Dial Index field is used to link directory entries to speed dial
operations.
Changes will be stored in the phone’s flash file system and backed up
to the boot server copy of <Ethernet address>-directory.xml if this
is configured. When the phone boots, the boot server copy of the
directory, if present, will overwrite the local copy.
