Working with Directory Entries
The directory on your V500 system stores dialing information that helps you
make calls quickly and easily. When a site listed in the directory calls your
system, the system displays the name on the screen when the call comes in. If
a site that calls you is not listed in the directory, you are prompted to save the
call information in the directory when the call ends.
If your system is registered with a global directory server, your directory
contains two types of entries:
‰ Local entries: Information about sites that you have added, sites that
you have called, and sites that have called you. These entries are stored
locally on your V500 system, and depending on your system setup, you
can edit these entries. You can also assign local entries to categories to
make it easier to find numbers. Local entries are available to anyone who
uses the system.
‰ Global entries: Information about other active sites that are registered
with the same Global Directory Server. These entries are stored on the
Global Directory Server, and you cannot edit them. You can make a local
copy if you want to make changes. Global entries are marked with
.
Adding, Editing, and Deleting Directory Entries
You can create entries for calls and save them in the V500 system’s directory.
Everyone at your site who uses the system can use the entries you create, and
you can use the entries created by others. You can also edit the information in
any local entry. Users at other sites cannot access the local entries on your
system.
To add an entry to the directory:
1. Select Directory from the Place a Call screen.
2. Select New.
