The 3CX PBX is converting the central phonebook into a XML file named , which is then imported to the attached Snom phones via provisioning. The 3CX phonebook ist supporting several numbers per entry as the Snom phones with firmware 8.7.x do if I understand this wiki correctly: http://wiki.snom.com/Features/Mass_Deployment/Setting_Files/XML/Directory .
The problem is, that the 3CX has a hard coded conversion script, that only takes the first filled nummber of a entry, often the mobile number. I would like to create a phonebook file manually, but I have to admit that I don't understand the wiki article to how to define the master and slave entries.
Is it possible to add an extended example file with the new possibilities by chance?

Hi,
you are right an example is better then 1000 words:
I hope the following commented XML example will help:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<tbook e='2' complete="true">
<item context="active" type='master' fav="false" mod="true">
<!--
the following tags can reside only in the master entry:
* first_name
* last_name
* birthday
* fav
-->
<!--
the following tags can reside both in the master or in a member entry:
* group
* title
* organisation
* email
* note
-->
<!--
the following tags can reside only in a member entry:
* name (this is just an alias for the number, not the person)
* number
* type
* context (attribute of the 'item' tag meaning the outgoing identity)
-->
<name>Johnny</name>
<!-- the number in the Master entry is used as an identifier linking referred by the Member entries -->

After some testing I noticed that the values inside the <number_type> tags in the example are not working as expected.Every unknown value translates to "sip".
Working values are "mobile" and "home". With "business" or "work" I had no success.
Can you please add some documentation for the <number_type> tag to your wiki?
