If you want to search for an employee at the university, you can use the RWTH phone book on a Cisco phone.

To start a search using the RWTH phone book, proceed as follows:

Step 1

Press the phonebook key (15) and then select “RWTH telephone directory” ("RWTH Telefonbuch") using the directional pad or press the number 3 key.

Step 2

The following image appears with the “Vanity” and “Last Name” ("Nachname") input fields.

Step 3

You can use the input fields to search for your desired contact via “Vantiy” or “Last name.”

You will find instructions on how to use the two search options below.

Search via Vanity

The "Vanity" searchmask can only be used to search for surnames.

To search for a last name, tap once on the number containing the letter: For example 6 for M.

Example: 6 for M. If you want to search for Müller as a surname, there are two possible search patterns:

Müller --> In this case the pattern looks like this:
6 = M, 8 = ü, 5 = l, 5 = l, 3 = e, 7 = r

Müller = 685537

or

Mueller
6 = M, 8 = ü, 3 = e, 5 = l, 5 = l, 3 = e, 7 = r
Mueller = 6835537

After entering the sequence of numbers, press the Send key and call the desired contact from the list displayed.

The advantage of this search method is that you do not need to type the number 8 5 times to obtain the letter ü, but you press the 8 key once for the ü and the mechanism in the background will do the search work.

All you have to do is spell the name and press the key once to find the letter.

Search by last name

You can access this search mask by pressing the directional pad down once.

This function also searches only for the last name and is similar to Vanity, but here the name must be entered with letters.
This means for the name Miller that you have to press the number keys several times to get the desired letter and if the letters are the same, you have to wait a short time until you can enter the letter again.

For the example Müller, this looks as follows:

M = 1 x 6 press for M
ü = 5 x 8 press for ü
l = 3 x 5 press for l

→ wait one second until the field with the selection options disappears

l = 3 x 5 press for l
e = 2 x 3 press for e
r = 3 x 7 press for r
