added, edited, and deleted.

list. You may also add contacts from the Corporate Directory. See Searching and Saving with the
Corporate Directory.

either first or last name. They display in the contact list by label, first name,
last name. Each field supports a maximum of 32 characters.
Contact Enter the phone number. This could be an extension number within your
facility, or an IP address or phone number outside your facility. The phone
number must be unique, and must not already exist in the directory. If you try
to save an entry with a number already in use, the entry will not be saved. This

When editing the Speed dial index number, you may assign it an unused value
between 1 and 9999. If you assign it a value that is already in use, the message
Speed dial index already exists displays. If you enter an invalid speed dial
index number (for example, 0 or 00), the message Speed dial index is invalid
displays.
