Not sure about snom but Polycom has this for their phones. It's called the 
Polycom Productivity Suite and it costs $10-$12 per phone along with a bit of 
manual configuration.

Hmm. If I don't include any groups in the group-list, and don't have the 
"Everyone" ticked (all system users show in every phonebook), then, as long as 
superadmin imports from a CSV file, everything works. The superadmin imported 
names/addresses come to the snom phone, and so do the personally-added contacts.

I'm not sure this is a usable solution though. Isn't there a way to deal with 
the superadmin phonebook contacts rather than importing from a CSV ?



I may look at active directory, but some sort if inbuilt thing would be best. 
To be honest, having to regenerate phone configs and reboot phones ever time a 
contact is added or amended in the phonebook is a bit crap. Are there any plans 
for an inbuild simple LDAP directory server in the system, for use by the 
phones ?



cheers,
arl

Subject: [sipx-users] system-wide phonebook

How do I achieve a system-wide phonebook that contains stuff *other than* 
internal users?

If I create users, and have them in the member-group of a phonebook, then they 
go into that phonebook, but I can hardly have my clients add their external 
contacts as users.

It seems that the admin users (superadmin?) should be able to add to the 
phonebook, but the superadmin portal doesn't allow viewing of the phonebook 
itself, only modification of the phonebook's properties.

Also, so far, the "show personal contacts on phone" isn't working on my Snom 
370. Only the system-wide contacts (those users who are in the group that the 
phonebook includes) are showing.



cheers,
Carl
