I own multiple Yelling Phone (6 in total), 3 different models though.
Now I want to setup ONE central RemotePhoneBook. I have got it to work on T19P. But the other models cannot read the XML file.
Is it tru that There are 4 different XML layouts needed to be read into each phone?? This makes supporting the phonebook a hell of a job.

Hi,

As far as I know there is only one setup for a phonebook.
Create a .xml file which contain something like this:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<XXXIPPhoneDirectory clearlight="true">
  <Title>Phonelist</Title>
  <Prompt>Prompt</Prompt>
  <DirectoryEntry>
    <Name>Accountview</Name>
    <Telephone>31206282941</Telephone>
  </DirectoryEntry>
  <DirectoryEntry>
    <Name>The Cabinetmaker</Name>
    <Telephone>31415235768</Telephone>
  </DirectoryEntry>
</XXXIPPhoneDirectory>

The go to "Directory > Remote Phone Book" and enter the "Remote URL" where you can find the .xml file.

THNX. This works for T41 and T19.
But not for T38 :-(

LAYOUT NOT WORKING ON T38G either: LOAD REMOTE PHONE BOOK ERROR


But I want to have ONE layout for all phones, I don't want to maintain 2 different files.
I am thinking about buying an extra T54 in my network.
Does the T54 support the first or second layout???

I cannot guaranty anything but I'm almost 100% (>98%) sure the first layout will work for the T54W too.

The second layout is a "screenshot" from the T38 Admin Guide.

That is an non working example on T38:
Adding that file to my webserver as test.xml results on T38 in:

All my other models (T19 / T41) DO read the file correctly from the same webserver
