Working with Directory Entries

The directory on your Polycom HDX system stores dialing information that

helps you make calls quickly and easily. When a site listed in the directory
calls your system, the system displays the name on the screen when the call

comes in. If a site that calls you is not listed in the directory, you might be

prompted to save the contact information in the directory when the call ends.

If your system is registered with a global directory server, your directory

contains two types of entries:

‰

Local entries: Information about sites that you have added. These

entries are stored locally on your Polycom HDX system, and depending on

your system setup, you can remove or edit these entries. You can also
assign local entries to categories to make it easier to find numbers.

Everyone at your site who uses the system can use the entries you

create, and you can use the entries created by others. Users at other sites
cannot access the local entries on your system.

‰

Global entries: Information about other active sites that are registered
with the same Global Directory Server. These entries are stored on the

Global Directory Server, and you cannot edit them. You can make a local
copy if you want to make changes.

Global entries are marked as

available or

offline.
