Description
You can specify one to three Telephone numbers to be displayed by
Express Directory and Visual Voicemail. Also, the Application Gateway
uses the telephone attribute(s) to locate the associated department name
in a directory for BCS distribution lists.
The three fields default to "telephoneNumber", "mobile", and
"extension". The fields can be changed to any other attribute
representing the phone number that you wish to display (such as
"homePhone"). If your directory contains multiple entries for the chosen
attribute, Express Directory displays all of them. The labels that you
enter will display in Express Directory.
By default, the telephone number displayed is the full number, along
with any prefixes configured for each directory (as described in

telephone numbers, as described in

Voicemail. The Application Gateway also uses a phone's extension to
look up the corresponding Department in the directory. BCS uses the

"department".
The LDAP search filter used to limit the results returned to the
Application Gateway. Defaults to "objectClass=*". You can specify more
than one search filter.
Note: If you use the message forwarding feature of Visual Voicemail and
you specify a Nortel Messaging server as the alternate LDAP server, you
must set this filter to "givenName=*" and select the checkbox for Search
LDAP Directory by 'First Name'.
