Local Local Phone User
Interface
The user can edit the directory contents. The Watch Buddy and
Block Buddy fields control the buddy behavior of contacts.
Changes will be stored in the phone’s flash file system and backed up
to the boot server copy of <Ethernet address>-directory.xml if this
is configured. When the phone boots, the boot server copy of the
directory, if present, will overwrite the local copy.
Note
Any contacts added through the SoundPoint IP phone’s buddy list will appear in as
a contact in Microsoft Office Communicator and Windows Messenger.
Polycom recommends that the BLF not be used in conjunction with the Microsoft
Live Communications Server 2005 feature. For more information, refer to Busy
Lamp Field on page 4-28.
