This section contains the following information:

Corporate Directory LDAP Attributes
The entry attributes in the corporate directory are mapped through sip.cfg
configuration file attributes to the LDAP attributes first_name, last_name,
phone_number, and others so the SIP application knows how to use them for
searching, dialing, or saving to the local contact directory. Multiple attributes
of the same type are allowed.
The maximum of eight attributes can be configured in sip.cfg .
The configuration order dictates how the attributes are displayed and sorted.
The first attribute is the primary sort index and the second attribute is the
secondary sort index. The other attributes are not used in sorting.
To limit the amount of data displayed in the corporate directory, filtering of
the entries can be configured for all attribute types. Filtering can be configured
to be retained if the phone reboots.
For more information on LDAP attributes, refer to RFC 4510 - Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): Technical Specification Road Map.
Browsing the Corporate Directory
The SoundPoint IP or SoundStation IP phone will establish a session with the
corporate directory and download enough entries to fill its cache:
