Directory
From Taridium
The ipbx directory features allow users and callers to lookup user extensions and other numbers via different interfaces and applications. These directories will also be used for caller ID name lookup whenever appropriate.

Internal Directory
The internal directory is automatically created and lists all users on the system including any mailboxes as long as the Hide from Directory hasn't been checked.
When using the Multi Site Module, this will also list the internal directories of other ipbx peers.
Global Directory
The global directory is an editable directory that will be server to the End User Panel and phone XML applications.
Device Directory
ipbx also allows directories to be generated as plain text files depending on vendor support. Currently only Aastra and Polycom directories are supported. Note that you will have to reboot your phones in order to load the directory.
Advanced
Dial By Name Directory
The dial by name lookup can be performed either via first name or last name input. Optionally you can select Playback extension number to caller before connecting if you want the caller to know which number to dial next time.
Automatic Device Directory Generation
Automatic device directory generation is supported for Aastra and Polycom phones. You can choose whether you want ipbx to generate a directory file with global contacts and internal contacts (users), only users or only global contacts.
