Helpful Hints When Building Your Directories - Lucent Technologies DEFINITY User Manual

Directory Administration
The PhoneLine MasterDirectory software also enables you to automate your
update procedures. You can pre-schedule update intervals, and determine
which routines will be performed each time. This minimizes your daily
involvement in keeping critical database information synchronized.
Information from the switch' s Integrated Directory can also be included in the
directories that you build using PhoneLine MasterDirectory. Chapter 3, " Console
Administration," includes the procedure that you will use to upload information
from the switch' s Integrated Directory. This information is funneled into a
special Upload File. Once the Upload File is accessible to PhoneLine
MasterDirectory, your ability to cross-reference and update comprehensive
database information is even further enhanced.
It is beyond the scope of this manual to address all of the capabilities and
procedures for PhoneLine MasterDirectory. When you are ready to build your
directories for PC Console, please refer to the PhoneLine MasterDirectory User' s
Guide for step-by-step instructions.
