Directory Search Dynamic Threshold (6867i and 6869i Only)
On the 6867i and 6869i IP phones, contacts are listed and updated dynamically on screen depending on the letters that
are entered into the search field. This dynamic update is dependant on the “directory search dynamic threshold” config-
uration parameter. This parameter indicates the threshold value where the Directory search is no longer dynamic. By
default, the search dynamic threshold is limited to 5000 entries That is, if any enabled Directory source holds more records
than the configured value, users will need to manually press a Search softkey in order to trigger the search.
