The software that reads directory files from the server, loads the file’s contents into the phone's NVRAM when the phone 
is booting. Directory entries in the NVRAM that originate from a server directory file are “owned” by the server. 

During the boot process both directory files are read, combined into a single list, and any duplicate entries are deleted 
from the list. Any entries in this list that are not already in the phone's NVRAM are added to the NVRAM and flagged as 
being owned by the server. Likewise, any entries in the NVRAM that are owned by the server, but are no longer in one of 
the server's directory files, are removed from the NVRAM. Entries made from the IP phone UI are never touched.

The following table indicates the maximum characters for each line and field in the Directory List.

Duplicate entries are recognized by the IP phone as those that contain the same name, URI number, and line number. 
The label and mode attribute (i.e. public or private) are not taken into consideration by the IP phone when comparing 
entries.

Maximum length of a name

15 characters for all phones except the
