On all the other phones, I was able to create a programmable button on the phone:

That would give me a choice of my 2 phonebooks.

We have a company shared phonebook and a personal one.

The company shared phonebook is defined in the common file:


The personal phonebook is set in the MAC config like (since it is different for every user)


I *know* the manual says that on the T41P/T42P you can not use name, but I do not understand how I can get the data of both phonebooks in the phone.

If I press the programmable key, it usually shows me a choice for both phonebooks, but on the T41/T42 it doesn't

*But*, if I look the external phonebook up in the menu of the phone I do get to see both including their name!

So what;s going on then?

1. Can I or can't I use 'name' in this type of phone?

2. How do I get the choice for both phonebook's on my programmable key OR how do I get both phonebooks to show up mixed as one, alphabetically sorted list on my programmable key?

3. Any other options?

The documentation is very vague on this

I find this to be a huge disadvantage for these models. Preferably all phones should have the same behaviour. Even a simple phone like the T19P supports this.

Anybody able to help me out with this problem?

Kind regards,

Michel

Btw, uploading attachment's does not work at the moment (white page), tested both on Chrome and Firefox.

Anyone?

In the menu I can go to external phonebooks and see:

[attachment=1194]

Both phonebooks with 'name':

[attachment=1195]

But If I create a button on the phone:


It will only show me the 'companylist'

On my T46 when I create a Phonebook button it defaults to the first phonebook but i can use left or right arrow to change the phonebook..

Hello tb303,
Sorry for my delay reply.
1.Yes, you can rename the display name of Local Directory or Remote Phone Book by setting in favorite_setting.xml, as your figure 1 shows
2.For T41P/T42G, phone only match the phonebook which defined in URL 1 when pressing the programmable key defined as “XML Directory”, rather than both the phonebooks performed by others. So, it didn’t show the two phonebooks to let you choose, this is factory default behavior, we can’t change it. Maybe it will be available for the last firmware version if there’re more users concern this function.
But, you can make a simple change on "Directory" default software key to replace this function:
a. just remain the Remote Phone Book in Directory setting, remove the other options
b. press Directory software key to reach 2 phonebooks directory
If you want to see the Local Directory, you can go to Menu->Directory


Thanks for your support to Yealink.

Hi,

I'm afraid I don't quit understand your answer.

I would like to use 2 external phonebooks (a common-directory (company) and a user-direcory (per user)) and have 1 programmable key to access them both like on the other models.

In orher words: How can I create a (programmable) button that will go straight to the 'external phonebooks', just like I can on the other phones.

How would I achieve this as a provisioning parameter please?

Kind regards,

Michel

Hi Michel,

Thanks, I got what you mean.
As you said, you would like to create a programable key named as Gids, and when press Gids, it will go straight to the external phonebooks, right? You can achieve this by below code:
========
Code on Common file:(define your company phonebook)

programablekey.3.type = 61
programablekey.3.label = Gids
remote_phonebook.data.1.url = http://192.168.1.10/yealink/directory/companylist.xml
remote_phonebook.data.1.name = Bedrijfsgids

Code on MAC file:(define the per user phonebook)

remote_phonebook.data.2.url = http://192.168.1.10/yealink/directory/229/userlist.xml
remote_phonebook.data.2.name = Gebruikersgids
========
After AutoP, when you press Gids key, it will display "Local directory" "Remote phone directory" "Network directory".(in other words, "Gids" key runs the same function with the default "Directory" key), then, you can remove the "Local directory","Network directory" and any other options from the Directory setting on Web UI, only remain the "Remote phone directory" option. Then, press Gids key again, it goes well as you want.

BTW, you may have 2 questions:
1.How can I see the "Local Directory"?
Please go from Menu->Directory->Local Directory
2.Why can not go straight to the 2 phonebooks after setting the programable key, just like other phones performed?
Because T41P/T42G phone only match the phonebook which defined in URL 1.

Hope above information may help you.
Thanks and regards,
Peter

Hello Peter,

Thanks for your elaboration.
In fact I have tried 61 before.

The programmable key:

Shows:
[attachment=1202]

Type: T41P
Firmware version: 36.72.188.14

Any suggestions?

I really just want it to work like all the other models that support external phonebooks. It's kind of strange the 41P and 42G work differently then all the other models.

Kind regards,

Michel

Hi Michel,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused for you. Currently, remote phone book can be achieved by the way of my last reply. But I'll escalate your suggestion to product department, wish we can find it made true at the next version firmware.
thanks again for your support to Yealink.

B.Regards,
Peter

That's the problem. In that post you write:

Quote:After AutoP, when you press Gids key, it will display "Local directory" "Remote phone directory" "Network directory".(in other words, "Gids" key runs the same function with the default "Directory" key)

I followed your instructions to the letter and created the '61' button, and I do not get "Local directory" "Remote phone directory" "Network directory", but the list as showed in my photo.



Kind regards,

Michel

Hello Michel,
Maybe you didn't move the Remote Phone Book to Enabled list, please adjust on web UI->Directory->Setting, and move the Remote Phone Book to Enabled list.

Thanks.
Peter
