6.1.3 Add Contacts Using a Contact File
The following example shows the configuration for customizing a local contact file.
Customize the contact file “contact.xml” and place the contact file “contact.xml” to the provisioning server
http://192.168.10.25 .
Example:
<setting id="LocalContactUploadUrl" value="http://192.168.10.25/directory.xml" override="true"/>
During auto provisioning, the IP phone connects to the provisioning server “192.168.10.25” and downloads
the local contact file “directory.xml”. You can view the contacts on the phone and specify the avatar for a
contact.
The following images show the added contact Lily wang with the corresponding avatar displayed on the
phone screen:
