The following applies only to traditional phones. If your traditional phone has been replaced by the UniCom service (using Skype for Business and/or a USB or IP phone), see ARCHIVED: UniCom (unified communications).

Depending on the manufacturer and model, your office telephone may have a directory that allows you to dial names and numbers you've stored in it.

On this page:


Cortelco Patriot, Comdial Impression, Panasonic Model KX-T2355 Easa, ATT 925 Speakerphone, Vodavi Starplus

These telephones do not have an internal directory. Instead, you can program speed dial buttons and list them on the directory reference card. For instructions, see ARCHIVED: Store and then dial other numbers on your office phone

Caller ID phones (Meridian 9316 and 9417)

With Caller ID phones, you can store up to 50 entries and dial their numbers directly from the directory. The names are ordered by the first character; if you want your directory sorted by last name, enter the last name first. Entries without a name will be sorted by telephone number and placed at the beginning of the directory.

Saving a new number

  1. Press Save, and then press Directory.
  2. Enter the number using the dial pad, and then press Save. Only the number is stored at this point.
  3. If you don't want to enter a name, press Save; otherwise, see Entering names below.

Saving a displayed number

  1. Ensure that a number is on the display, and press Save.
  2. Press Directory. If you see the name and number displayed, both are now saved in the directory.
  3. If no name is displayed, the system will ask for one. If you don't want a name, press Save; otherwise, see Entering names below.

Note: To delete a mistake, press the left arrow key. To insert a space, press the right arrow key.

Entering names

To program a name, press the dial pad key that has the first character of the name, and continue this until that character appears on the display. Then, press the appropriate dial pad key for the next character; if this is on the same key, press the right arrow key to move to the next space. To switch between upper- and lowercase letters, press Hold.

Finding items in the directory

  • To see the directory list heading, press Directory.
  • To see listings starting with a particular letter, first press the appropriate dial pad key, and then the down arrow key to see the remaining listings under that letter. For example, pressing 5 takes you to the first J listing, and then pressing the down arrow key takes you to the next J listing. Pressing 5, then 5 again, takes you to the first "K" listing.
  • To move up and down the list, press the up or down arrow. To scroll steadily, press and hold the appropriate arrow key.
  • To leave the directory at any time, press Directory or RLS.

Note: If you're on a call while you're viewing the directory, pressing RLS also drops the call.
