T46G (Remote) Phonebook

[firmtel]

Hello,

I'm currently using a Yealink T46G, i want to fill the phonebook remote trough an .xml file.
My first try was using an written file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FirmTelIPPhoneDirectory>
<DirectoryEntry>
<Name>Angelique</Name>
<Telephone>1013</Telephone>
<Telephone>316580213</Telephone>
<Name>Arne</Name>
<Telephone>2008</Telephone>
<Telephone>31658023</Telephone>
<Name>Bart</Name>
<Telephone>1005</Telephone>
<Telephone>31658023</Telephone>
</DirectoryEntry>
</FirmTelIPPhoneDirectory>

No matter what i tried i kept getting the invalid file error.

My second try was to use the Phonebook generator, that was a good idea but apprently the VB module is password protected making the tool useless.

My third idea was to manualy fill the phonebook on one and export that file to use for the others. You can guess i get an error:
This page contains the following errors:

error on line 9 at column 1: Extra content at the end of the document
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.


Than i figured maybe it was the firmware so i tried 4 diffrent version no result. Currently i'm having 28.72.188.2 (my understanding this is a specific firmware for my country) So i tried to put the original firmware back supplied on the website but he doesn't wanna overright the other firmware.

My latest try was an xml file i found here on the forums and still nothing.

Side note i'm testing a whole line T41P, T42G, T46G, T48G and i'm having the exact same issue on each model, we wanna distribute these models and it would be really nice to get this working.

Hi,

I have a remote phonebook for T42G And T46G and they are working perfect.

Below is an example of my xlm file that I use to make my phonebook

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<root_contact>
<contact display_name="contact1" office_number="101" mobile_number="" other_number="" line="-1" ring="" group_id_name="office" is_favorate="0" />
<contact display_name="contact2" office_number="102" mobile_number="" other_number="" line="-1" ring="" group_id_name="office" is_favorate="0" />
<contact display_name="contact3" office_number="103" mobile_number="" other_number="" line="-1" ring="" group_id_name="office" is_favorate="0" />
<contact display_name="contact4" office_number="201" mobile_number="" other_number="" line="-1" ring="" group_id_name="office" is_favorate="0" />
<contact display_name="contact5" office_number="202" mobile_number="" other_number="" line="-1" ring="" group_id_name="office" is_favorate="0" />
<contact display_name="contact6" office_number="203" mobile_number="" other_number="" line="-1" ring="" group_id_name="office" is_favorate="0" />

Mali,
Your file gives me "Update Fail" when used as a remote phonebook. Can you tell us how this is implemented?

My working format is this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<XXXIPPhoneDirectory clearlight="true">
<Title>Phonelist</Title>
<Prompt>Prompt</Prompt>
<DirectoryEntry>
<Name>Contact Name</Name>
<Telephone>6850</Telephone>
</DirectoryEntry>
</XXXIPPhoneDirectory>

You can try below syntaxs. Please run phonebook generator tool in EXCEL 2010 and try again if you wanted.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<YealinkIPPhoneBook>
  <Title>Yealink</Title>
  <Menu Name="qwe">
    <Unit Name="test29" Phone1="1262" Phone2="4567" Phone3="6789" default_photo="Resource:"/>
    <Unit Name="test30" Phone1="1263" Phone2="4567" Phone3="6789" default_photo="Resource:"/>
  </Menu>
</YealinkIPPhoneBook>

Hi Mali,

Your file is working for me thanks alot! Been strugling with this issue for a few day's now
Not sure where i was going wrong though.

Thanks all for helping!

One last question.

Is there a way to configure BLF the same sort of way as the phonebook?

I saw you can do it in the provisioning but that's not the way we want to do it.

Tested on 28.72.0.25 and get Load Failed. This is where you are putting the XMl entry, right:

What do you mean directly in the PBX?

Can you show screenshots of your setup?
