After you select the Local Directory, the IP phone gives you the option to search by first
or last name by typing in a user's name as a string on the IP phone. You can enter as many
characters as you like to filter down the number of results or simply press the Select soft-
key to see the entire corporate directory, as shown in Figure 7-3.

Figure 7-3 Local CME Directory

By default, Cisco Unified CME organizes the local directory alphabetically by first name.
You can change this setting by using the directory command from telephony service config-
uration mode. In addition, you can also add manual entries to the directory by using the
directory entry command. This is useful for devices in the company that do not have an ex-
plicit ephone-dn configuration. Example 7-2 demonstrates these two commands in action.
