Personal Directory feature description

Last Updated : Jan 21, 2020 |
Prolog information
The Personal Directory, Callers List, and Redial List are intertwined within the digital stations that support this capability (redial and callers only on the 3903, but redial, callers, and directory on the 3904 and 3905) or PD data on PPM (UNIStim).
Personal Directory allows you to enter or copy names in a personal directory, delete entries, or delete the entire list. You can also edit the name or number of an entry in the list. For example, if you want to dial some additional access code (trunk, feature, and so on) to place a call, you can edit the number in the directory to include the missing prefix or prefixes.
The Callers List and Redial List are call log features. The content of these lists is generated during call processing. You cannot modify this content. However, you can delete, or in some cases, copy entries or lists. You can also call (Callers List) or redial (Redial List) parties in these lists.
Password protection is available to control access to a user's Personal Directory, Callers List, and Redial List.

Digital stations

Digital stations of type 3903 and 3904, and 3905 call center stations, store list information on the station. The phase 3 stations allow a three-letter search of the directory.
If you want to dial someone from the directory, redial a previously called destination or call back a caller. You can perform this function on the endpoint and the endpoint simulates an outgoing call to the target.
The 3903 phone has a greatly reduced capacity for storing this data. It supports only the callers and redial lists.
  • Directory size:
    • 3903: Not available. Callers list and redial list are available.
    • 3904: 100 entries
  • Callers list size:
    • 3903: 10 entries
    • 3904: 100 entries
  • Redial list size:
    • 3903: 5 entries
    • 3904: 20 entries

UNIStim station

UNIStim stations use the lists that are stored in the system, allowing the same capacity as the 3904:
  • Directory size: 100 entries
  • Callers list size: 100 entries
  • Redial list size: 100 entries
The Personal Directory, Callers List, and Redial List use PPM to store directory data and user profile options.
PPM stores the most recent 100 call log entries, which are saved in the format of one entry per one call format. When the device is logged in, the saved call log entries are separated into Callers and Redial list.
Personal Directory supports the following for devices that support personal directory:
  • Maximum entries = 100
  • Maximum characters in name = 24
  • Maximum characters in DN = 31
  • Multiple actions:
    • Add new entry.
    • Edit an entry.
    • Delete an entry.
    • Delete contents of directory.
    • Copy an entry from Callers List to Personal Directory.
    • Copy an entry from Redial List to Personal Directory.
    • Dial DN of an entry.
  • Password protection to control access to Personal Directory.
  • One-minute time out to exit if the user was idle.
This is invisible to Communication Manager. It is handled either by the telephone itself (3904) or by Device Adapter (UNIStim).
