Using the Global Address Book

If your organization uses Polycom's Global Management System

software and your ViewStation EX system is set to subscribe to the
Global Address Book server, you can access global addresses.

The Global Address Book provides users with easy, one-button
dialing to anywhere in the world. The Global Address Book
automatically captures and updates your system’s dialing
information, country codes, and preferred line speeds. The user
simply selects a name from the list to place a call.

When you access the Address Book on a system that subscribes to
the Global Address Book server, you see addresses that have been
entered manually and global addresses from various address books.

The following icons on the Address Book screen indicate Global
Address Book status and individual address status.

The presence of this icon in the upper right corner indicates that
the system is connected to the Global Address Book server.
When this icon rotates, it indicates that the system is actively
accessing the Global Address Book server for addresses. Notice
the icon rotating as you scroll through the address list.
