Administering the 4610SW and 4620 Thin Client Directories
Introduction
Figure 4: High-Level Thin Client Architecture
APPLICATION SERVER
As shown above, the Directory application and its administration are co-resident with an HTTP server.
Administration screens allow all Directory application parameters (such as the directory database server's
IP address or DNS name, allowable search fields, results returned, etc.) to be set via a PC browser (web
browser may be co-resident on Directory Application Server).
When a 4620 IP Telephone user initiates a directory search, the user's browser sends the search criteria to
the Directory application. The Directory application sends a query (based on administered parameters) to
the directory database (usually located on a separate server). The directory database server then returns
search results to the Directory application, which formats them in the appropriate markup language and
sends the results back to the end user. The user then has several options regarding the search results.
