External Phonebook (Ldap) - Konftel 300IP User Manual

EXTERNAL PHONEBOOK (LDAP)

Konftel 300IP has support for an external phonebook. This means it can communicate
with a catalog server according to LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). To make
the external phonebook accessible, an administrator must activate and configure the
LDAP function in Konftel 300IP.
An LDAP database can hold thousands of contacts and for this reason, Konftel 300IP
includes a search function to filter the content of the database dynamically, based on the
search characters you enter.

match your search

The search characters you
entered
When you find the right contact, you can open it with OK. When you have done this, you
can choose which of the contact's telephone numbers you want to ring (for instance, work,
mobile or home).

the selected contact
 Please note, the administrator has the option to configure the function in different
ways; this means it may function differently to the way described here.
The administrator can determine in which database field your search characters will be
used, the number of hits that are to be displayed in Konftel 300IP and the information
that is to be displayed (name, company, department, telephone number).
Contact the company's telephone or network manager for information on how LDAP is
configured for your Konftel 300IP.

base that match your search
