Using USB flash drives with your phone
You can use Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive if your deskphone has a USB interface and you
have the permission of the administrator. When you log in to your phone from a remote location, you
can use the USB flash drive to add contacts to your Contacts list from an E-mail or other PC
software program, and use the pictures from the device as screensaver on your phone.
Avaya offers a PC application Avaya one-X
™
Deskphone USB Companion to help set up your USB
device phone options. Your administrator has certain setup responsibilities and can then help you
determine the options that are available to you and how to use the tool to set them up.
The USB profile login feature is provisioned by the administrator. You can log on to the deskphone
based on the USB profile on the USB flash drive connected to the phone. In the USB profile login,
only the contacts saved on the USB drive are displayed. You can log out by removing the USB
drive.
If you insert the flash drive into the USB jack, the phone displays either a list of USB actions or
options, a message that your phone does not support the device, or a message that the phone does
not have adequate power to support the device. Power supply to the USB interface depends on the
administration settings and on how you have powered the phone. The phone supports USB drives
with FAT or FAT32 file systems and does not support USB drives with NTFS file systems and
multiple LUNs.
Note:
The 9621 IP deskphone does not have a USB interface.
Adding contacts from an external file to your contacts list
About this task
Use a USB flash drive to add contacts from an external file to your contacts list. The contacts list
can contain only 250 entries. Contact files merged or written to the contacts list on the phone must
be in a specific format. One way to ensure that the file is in the proper format is to export the
contacts list of your deskphone to your USB device, which automatically creates a formatted file.
Avaya also provides a spreadsheet tool that uses macros to convert your Outlook contacts into the
Contacts format that the phone uses. For information on this tool, search for Avaya one-X

Companion on the Avaya support site at

Procedure
1. Plug the USB device into the jack near the center top edge of your phone.
2. Tap Select to select Merge file and phone contacts.
The phone displays the Merge option only when both the USB file and the phone have
contacts.
3. The phone merges the contacts automatically. When complete, review the statistics
displayed, which show the number of entries, duplicates, and any errors.
