Polycom SounPoint IP / Contact Directory

[Anonymous]

Hello,


I have problem with Contact Directory on my Polycom SounPoint IP phones.

I use SW 4.0.8. 1608


{mac}-directory.xml is on my provisioning server. Phone [according to polling interval] periodically downloading directory but
the change will take effect after restart.

example:
i add to {mac}-directory.xml one contact, I wait till phone download file (i see it in wireshark) but when I tap on "Directory" -> "Contact Directory" there isn't my added contact. When I restart phone then in "Directory" -> "Contact Directory" I can found my added contact.

Is this behavior OK or shall I change some parameters in my config files?

Thank you very much for answer.

Best regards,

Jakub

Hello Jakub,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

To my knowledge the Polling of the USer Directory only works as follows:

• If provisioning polling is enabled and dir.local.readonly="1" is enabled the Phone will look for a <mac>-directory.xml when matching the polling event.
  
• If provisioning polling is enabled and dir.local.readonly="0" is disabled the Phone will NOT look for a <mac>-directory.xml when matching the polling event.

I verified the above against a SPIP650 running UC Software 4.0.9 and a VVX600 running UC Software 5.4.0

Setting dir.local.readonly="1" will prevent the Users to make any changes to their local Directory.

I would suggest, if you require a dynamic directory, to utilize an LDAP of some sort. The FAQ contains information in regards of using an LDAP.

Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.
