Provisioning phone books
You do not set phone books to provisioned endpoints the same way as with Cisco TMS-registered endpoints.
The Phone Book URI you configure for groups, for example phonebook@example.com, is used to
provision users with one or more phone books that they have been given access to.

Phone book and access replication
Phone books and the access control defined for them are synchronized to the Cisco TMS Agent on Cisco
TMS, which replicates to the Cisco TMS Agent on the Cisco VCS. Users searching with Jabber Video or
E20 will therefore get different phone book results depending on the user group they belong to.

Below is an illustration of how phone book data gets from Cisco TMS to the provisioned E20 or Jabber Video
client. Note that blue lines are relevant only to Jabber Video, not to other provisioned endpoints.

Configuring the provisioning phone book source
Cisco TMS automatically creates a phone book source called Provisioning Source, which includes all users
in
in
Systems > Provisioning > Directory
, and a Provisioning Phone Book based on this source.
If FindMe is not being used, and only the Device URI is being used in the Provisioning Directory, the
Provisioning Source will not be populated until devices are provisioned as users begin to log in.

You can see and change the configuration of this phone book source by going to
Phone Books > Manage
Phone Book Sources
. In the left-hand pane, click Provisioning Source.
