With regard to Jim’s question: the
phone will upload the contacts to a file named MACADDRESS-directory.xml when
the phone boots. Copy that file to 000000000000-directory.xml and all the
new phones booting up will start with that config.
With regards to Stephen’s question:
not sure if when you switch to FTP provisioning it will be smart enough to
upload the existing contacts. It should, but to ensure it doesn’t
get overwritten I’d make sure there isn’t a 000000000000-directory.xml
file on the FTP boot server. Even then, I’d suggest trying to write
down all the contacts in the phone before moving it to the new network. 15
minutes of writing might save you hours of headaches later if losing the
numbers isn’t an option.

Prevent a Polycom contact list to be overwritten

I have a Polycom phone that was
setup without provisioning through an FTP server. It has a number of contacts
that where input via the phone. I would like to add this phone to a small
network that was provisioned through an FTP server and keep the contacts
already on the phone. How do I ensure that the contacts list file will not be
overwritten when I do a provisioning?
I would like to know this as well, but for a slightly different reason. I want
to provision
501 phones, but I want to start from what is currently on the phone. So, in
other words,
I want to download the XML file that is stored in the phone.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks
