Hi,

we're using a Snom D335 desk phone which should contain the address book as the DECT phones.

I have a Webdav server running which provides the address book to the Fritzbox router, providing the phone books to the DECT phones.
The Webdav is also the address book for the email clients.

Unfortunately I only see LDAP or manual csv import on the D335. Setting up an LDAP server would be a little bit much overhead I think.

My workaround idea was to periodically send a csv file to the phone without using the web interface. As there is a regular Linux behind, I don't expect this to be too adventurous.

Is there an easy way to do this? Or are there better ideas to get the address book on the phone?


Thank you!

Kai

    Hi,

    The XML directory you are using on the base station isn't probably available on the desk phones too, on those we support the directories showed in the URL below

    Phone directories

    Thank you

      Thank you for the response!


      I tried the XML directory, this was straight forward, unfortunately that's more a website and the phone doesn't recognice it as a phone book like on reverse searching, multiple numbers per contact.
      Also, it didn't work with >100 contacts in one list.


      My next approach would be to use the local phone book, but here's my question:
      I read about automatic deployment of the numbers, but following the manual (Auto Provisioning), it looks more like a complete configuration stack I can put onto the phone while booting. There I can include a phone book.

      What I understood is a configuration in the boot process. Is there also a possibility just to provide the phone book every 24h or so by this way?
      Would other configurations not be touched if I don't mention them in a tag?
      The <tbook> tag from here Desk Phone Configuration Files looked already very promising.


      Xcap also looked interesting, but I read that it's obsolete now, so I didn't look deeper into it.


      Thank you!

    Hi,

    The Xcap is obsolete so yes, I think the tbook tag could be the way to go here, the XML one is more of a mini-browser than a "standard" directory.

    You can setup a provisioning polling with different methods, as described in the page Provisioning Polling for desk phones, and only the parameters that are defined in the provisioning file will be changed: if you don't want to change something simply do not put that parameter in the file and it won't be touched by it.

    Thank you

    Hi,

    I did some tests, that works quite well. Thank you!
    I'll do some php file that creates me an xml for the phone. That'll be easiest in my case..

    Need to figure out, why the web interface ist so slow, first. But that's a different case...

    Thank you!
