17 Appendix F: CSV based Directory
17.1 Introduction
The application described in this chapter is a generic directory application using a CSV file as data
source as well as a server-side speed dial application which can be linked from the directory
application.
The directory application allows the user to perform a lookup based on
 The first letters of the first name
 The first letters of the last name
 The first letters of the Company name
 (at least 3) Letters anywhere in the complete name or company name
Also, it allows the user to configure:
 The results display format: ‘first name last name’ or ‘last name first name’
 Sorting index: ‘last name’ or ‘first name’
The directory application can also be password protected (configured in config/directory.conf), the
password is requested only for the first use, once authenticated by its MAC address, the phone no
longer requires the password check.
The source code is provided in the XML SDK as a zip file called csv_directory_3.3.1.zip
Note: the source code is not supported by Aastra, it is provided only as an example.
