Setting Up the Phone Book

You can use the wizard to set up your service profile to use the phone book and region files you want. Using custom phone book and region files provides users with complete Point of Presence (POP) information. Users can roam and connect to different Internet access points by using POPs listed in the phone book. The service profile can also automatically obtain updated files for the user’s local phone book through Connection Point Services. If another network administrator maintains phone books, contact him or her to get copies of the correct phone book and region files. To set up automatic phone book updates, you will need the name of the Connection Point server.

Note

If you are setting up automatic phone book updates, include as much POP information as possible in your service profile. The more information you include, the faster subsequent additions or updates to phone book information will download to your users’ phone books.

The following options are available:

Phone book file. Type or browse to the (.pbk) file name.
“More phone numbers” message. If your phone book contains alternate phone numbers that are displayed by clicking the More button in the Phone Book dialog box, you can set up a custom message indicating that there are more phone numbers. Type your line of text.

Notes

Make sure the region file has the same name as the phone book file (for example, if your phone book file is Phone.pbk, the region file should be Phone.pbr) and is in the same directory as the phone book file.

The context-sensitive help for the list of alternate phone numbers says that the user may be charged extra for using alternate phone numbers. If this is not true for your alternate phone numbers, you may want to edit the help topic.
