can populate groups created locally on a Polycom HDX system with existing

Office Communicator or Microsoft Lync contacts, but those changes do not

appear on any other device.

To manage your contacts using Office Communicator or Microsoft Lync:

Log in to Office Communicator or Microsoft Lync with the same account

information specified in the SIP settings of your Polycom HDX system.
