[satya.kondaveeti91]

HI,

I need help on import/export personal directory on CISCO SPA502G and SPA942. I was gone through the forums from the CISCO, but I haven't find anything on import/export personal directory. all I fond is the below link:

https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/10851151/provisioning-personal-directory-differences-between-spa9xx-and-spa502g

when I tried with pdir.spa or pdir.csc I am getting "404 not found".

can you please advise on this.....

Thanks.....

Personal directory is not XML Phone Application. Thus I will move this thread to more appropriate forum.

No easy way.

Download the current content of PD

Open WWW UI, find Personal Directory menu item, it will reveal you the URL that allow you to fetch the PD. Note it will have HTML format. It's your's responsibility to parse it.

Upload the current content of PD to phone

Either use the same URL as for download - you need to prepare data in the same format the internal page is using.

On some phones with firmware recent enough the following may work as well:

Configuring Personal Address Book.

Hi

I've seen these url and I have a doubt.

Should I copy the next code in my spacfg.xml file? (deleting flat-profile labels)

<flat-profile>

<paddrbook>

<entry>

<name>Abc Test</name>

<homePhone>4081111234</homePhone>

<workPhone>4082221234</workPhone>

<mobilePhone>4083331234</mobilePhone>

<ringToneID>1</ringToneID>

</entry>

<entry>

<name>Def Test</name>

<homePhone>4081001234</homePhone>

<ringToneID>1</ringToneID>

</entry>

</paddrbook>

</flat-profile>

I haven't been able to export personal directory and I've found few information.


Thank you.

Can you describe the issue you have, please ?

E.g. what you are trying to do, what you tried, what result you expected, what result you got ?

The ways to export personal directory are described in this thread, the import methods are discussed in Provisioning Personal Directory on SPA502G. Remember some methods require the phone's firmware to be recent enough.

Thank you Dan

My firmware is 7.5.2b if I update it Will I have to setup again my devices?

I copied the  spacfg.xml file in notepad, then I add the code in that file. After I tried the upload the file through TFTP ( I saw a tutorial to do this). and I expected that the contacts I added it appears in my cisco device.

But,  I've have been reading you, and maybe I'm interested to create one personal dir for all devices with LDAP ( I have Active Directory). So could you give me a manual to do this please?

Thank you

7.5.2b is rather ancient. Unless you have reason not to update, you should look at a more recent version ...

Upgrade require no reconfiguration most of time. But no warranty - configuration may be lost. So save it to be in safe side.

I have no experience with LDAP directory. We use XML form directory instead. Create new thread for such question (it should have subject mentioning the matter of question). May be someone other will respond.

I upgraded one of my phones and It works fine!

My intention is that the personal dir be centralized., and one admin can manage it.

Thanks

Glad to hear you solved it.
