The contact directory is the central database for several phone features including speed dial (see
Configure the Speed Dial Feature), distinctive incoming call treatment (see Distinctive Incoming Call
Treatment), and presence (see Use the Presence Feature. The table Use the Local Contact Directory lists
the directory parameters you can configure. The CX5500 system supports up to 999 contacts. If you want
to conserve phone memory, you can configure the phones to support a lower maximum number of
contacts.
Tip: Deleting the Per-Phone Contact Directory
If you created a per-phone <MACaddress>-directory.xml for a phone and you want that phone to
use a global contact directory 000000000000-directory.xml, remove the
<MACaddress>-directory.xml file you created from the server.
