Directory Administration

Overview

The term " Directory Administration" refers to a collection of procedures. These
are the procedures that you, as System Administrator, will use to define, and
later identify, the database information required by PC Console to communicate
with the switch.
The tool that you will use to perform Directory Administration is called
PhoneLine MasterDirectory. This standalone software application allows you to
create and manage information in multiple directories. PC Console uses these
completed directories to access information about the people in your
environment.
Using the PhoneLine MasterDirectory
Software
You can create and use up to four PC directories in PC Console. Each directory
is actually a database created and maintained by the PhoneLine MasterDirectory
software.
The PhoneLine MasterDirectory software is a feature-rich application. It
provides capabilities that give you a great deal of control when developing your
database structures. You can, for example, tie together information from
multiple source files. One file might have name and address information;
another service records; and yet another emergency contact information. Using
the PhoneLine MasterDirectory software, you can create a single database that
ties all of this information together, for a complete profile of each person in your
environment.
