1. General Information
The 4059 application allows access to different types of extern al directories that can be used for the
“Call by name” telephone feature. Thes e directories are LDAP and ODB C type directories.
To use these directories, the site m anager must first configure access to them from the 4059 applica-
tion. This access differs depending on whether the directory is ODBC or LDAP type.
To carry out this operation, the site manager is supposed to have the required knowledge of:
- the Windows™ environment,
- ODBC and LDAP operating princip les,
- the “Call by name” telephone feature. For more information, refer to module Alcatel 4059
attendant console - Telephone features - § Call by name.
Reminders:
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protoco l) is a clien t-server protocol that offers access to directory
services via the network and/or the Internet.
ODBC ( Open Database Connectivity) is a format defined by Microsoft allowing a user to access a
database running in Windows. This database can be a telephone directory for a 4059 application.
Important: from the 4059 application, the attendant also has a personal directory enabling the
attendant to save up to 3000 users. This directory is saved under ALCABC32\store.dat. Remember to
save this file in case of deinstallation of the 40 59 application, otherwis e it is deleted.
