Working with Directory Entries
The directory on your Polycom HDX 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 might be
prompted to save the contact 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. These
entries are stored locally on your Polycom HDX system, and depending on
your system setup, you can remove or edit these entries. You can also
assign local entries to categories to make it easier to find numbers.
Everyone at your site who uses the system can use the entries you
create, and you can use the entries created by others. Users at other sites
cannot access the local entries on your 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 as available or offline.
Searching the Directory
You can find entries in the directory by:
‰ Spelling the first or last name using the number buttons on the remote
control
‰ Pressing Keyboard to use the onscreen keyboard to spell the name
‰ Scrolling through the list of names using the Up and Down
arrow buttons
‰ Paging through the list of names using Zoom In and Zoom Out
‰ Using the alphabet tabs to move through the directory and then scrolling
to the name you want
