Directory

Caution -

You must always enter the field separator character, even if one or

more of the fields are left blank. In the example above, which uses a semi-colon
as a separator, the entry for « Jones » lacks both E-mail address and shortcut key.

P

ROCEDURE

To import a directory:

17 OK - DIRECTORY / IMPORTATION

+

Select

WITH

to authorize the importation of a directory.

+

Create your directory on a PC in a file whose structure corresponds to that set
out above. In order to be recognized as a directory, the file name must
include the word directory and must have a .csv extension. For example:
smithdirectory01.csv, jonesdirectory.csv, or simply directory.csv.

+

Create an e-mail addressed to your fax E-mail address, attach the file to it,
and send your message via your mail server.

+

Your fax will receive the e-mail containing the directory when it connects to
the mail server, and will automatically import the attached file into its
directory.

+

Repeat the procedure as many times as required, for instance to update all
the LAN faxes on your network with the same directory.

Caution -

Importing a new directory completely overwrites any existing directory

entries on the fax machine. Once your fax machine has a complete directory, we
advise you to disable importing in order to protect the data already on the fax.

To disable importing:

17 OK - DIRECTORY / IMPORTATION

+

Select

WITHOUT

to prevent users from importing a directory.

E

XPORTING

A

DIRECTORY

You may also export a directory from a fax machine as a text file, and send it to
any mail client (be it PC or fax based), in the form of an e-mail attachment entitled
directoryxxx.csv.

To export the directory:

18 OK - DIRECTORY / EXPORTATION

+

Key in the e-mail address of the PC or other fax machine to which you want
to export the directory. You may export a directory to several fax machines
simultaneously (refer to paragraph Dialing, page -76).

+

Confirm by pressing OK.
