Introduction: Contact List in Central Directory
In this document, we describe how to create contact list, download the list to a speciﬁc or groups of
Base st ons and also explain the contact list se ngs on the SME VoIP conﬁgura on Interface.
A Contact list is a collec on of names or di onary of contacts that is usually hosted by the base
sta on(s) so registered handsets can have access them provided they are within the base sta on
coverage area.
It should be noted, that it is possible to create customized contact list on individual handset which is
independent from the one uploaded to the base sta on(s) (that is described fully in a diﬀerent
document).
