5.3.7 Directory Services

Directory services can be used to import directory records (names and numbers) from external sources. These sets of

records are regularly re-imported. For systems, the directory records can come from the following sources:

· LDAP Import

The system can import up to 5000 LDAP records for use within directories shown by user phones and applications.

LDAP import is configured through the System | Directory Services | LDAP form. The LDAP used is LDAP

Version 2.

· HTTP Import

Systems are able to import the directory records from another system using HTTP. HTTP import is configured

through the System | Directory Services | HTTP form by specifying an IP address or multi-site network

connection. The records imported can be any or all of the following record types held by the system from which

the records are being imported: LDAP imported records, HTTP imported records, configuration records.

· System Directory Records (Configuration records)

Up to 2500 records can be entered directly into the system configuration through the Directory menu. System

directory records override matching LDAP/HTTP imported records.

· Phones with a CONTACTS button and System Phone Rights privileges, can add, delete and edit the

system directory records of the system at which they are logged in. They cannot edit LDAP or HTTP imported

records.
