Beocom 6000 shared phonebook transfer/copy

[Lindsay Reid]

Is there currently a way of copying a shared phonebook to/from a Beocom 6000.

Some years ago, I managed to do it wth a B&O serene which connected to the shared phonebook on a 6000 but also had bluetooth. I can’t remember quite how I did it but, somewhat academic, as the Serene but the dust many years ago.

Surely there is a way?

 

Many thanks.

Welcome to Beoworld!

The phonebook on a BC6000 is either stored on the handset (‘personal’) or on the PSTN (‘common’).  You can change this in settings.

If the handset is already set to ‘common’, the numbers will be stored on the PSTN, and you should be able to access them from any handset connected to the same PSTN (as long as that too is set to ‘common’).

If the numbers are stored on a handset (‘personal’) and you change the handset type to ‘common’, the numbers stored on the handset will be deleted, and replaced with any stored on the PSTN.

If the numbers are stored on the PSTN (‘common’) and you change the handset type to ‘personal’., then the numbers previously stored on the PSTN will be copied to the handset.

I should have been clearer! You have answered a question but not what I had intended!

I mentioned the Serene because it allowed me to transfer the phonebook to/from a non B&O Beocom device via a PC with bluetooth.

I know about the common/personal phonebook but I want to get data to/from the non B&O “walled garden”!

Can you answer the revised question?

Ah I see!  In that case the answer is a firm ‘no’ – getting the info out of the Beocom/PSTN is not possible.

Maybe scroll through the phonebook whilst videoing the screen, and then use AI to produce a readable copy.  Totally beyond my capability, but I could imagine it being possible!

As an aside, the common phone book should be stored on the PSTN as well as on all the Beocoms registered to it and set to common. You should be able to scroll through them even when outside range of the PSTN. Registering a new handset set to common should have the common phone book together with redial and caller ID lists transferred to it as part of the process.
