OVERVIEW
The Grandstream GXV3175 IP Multimedia phone enables the users to share and maintain a phonebook through
the web easily. Besides importing/exporting the phonebook via local devices, it offers a user-friendly download
method through the GXV3175 IP Multimedia phone’s LCD interface.
For the ease of efficient deployment and management, the XML phonebook file could be stored on a web server
for the users to download. There are also applications where organizations will need to have a centralized
directory server and have all phones in the organization synchronized with the server periodically.
An example XML phonebook file is provided at the end of this guide. Users could add contacts there or export the
existed phonebook file from GXV3175 and start working on your own phonebook from it. Please also refer to the
XML syntax section if there are any questions in generating the phonebook file.
CONFIGURATIONS
Download Phonebook to GXV3175
Please follow the XML Syntax and the Example Phonebook in the next section to compile the Phonebook XML
file. Also, note that the phonebook file name is pre-configured as “Phonebook.xml” for the phone to retrieve. The
users cannot change the phonebook file name based on your preference. After compiling your phonebook XML
file, place the file under the web server root directory and start the web server.
The configuration of the phonebook could be accessed through the phone touch screen or the web configuration
interface. The following is the instruction for these two methods.
1. By Using Phone’s Touch screen
Access the phonebook application by selecting MENU-> Contacts in the main screen. (See Figure 1) Press
the “Options” button and select “Download” in the dropdown list.

After pressing “Download”, the screen will display the download settings as can be seen in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Download Settings via touch screen
Users could select the “Download Mode” and then specify the “Download Server” path to download the
Phonebook file from.
When the XML file is downloaded, the phone will parse and extract the entries from it. If “Clear The Old List”
is set to “NO”, the existed contacts will not be removed after downloading. If “Replace Duplicate Items” is set
to “NO”, the device will not replace duplicated items in the phonebook.
Set “Download Interval (Min)” by tapping on the blank field and enter the value via the soft keypad. Users
could press “OK” button to save the settings and then the contacts will be automatically updated in the future
based on the download interval configured. Or users can press button “Download Now” right next to download
interval to download the phonebook file immediately.

phone’s LCD screen. If the download is successful, the message “Process is successful!” will be displayed on
the bottom of the screen. See Figure 3.
