Configuring Interoperability with BroadSoft XSI Enterprise Directory and Personal Contacts
Use the following parameters to configure interoperability with BroadSoft XSI Enterprise Directory and Personal Con-
tacts.
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
The 6800i Series IP phones are able to use a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server for reading directories
over an IP network. When configured, users are able to search for contacts, dial out to contacts, copy contacts to the
Local Directory, or simply view the contact’s details (e.g. title, company name, numbers, work and home addresses, e-
mail addresses, etc...).
Administrators can fully configure an LDAP Directory by defining the following parameters in configuration files.
Basic LDAP Parameters
xsi resync days Specifies the amount of days that the phone waits between BroadSoft XSI directory resync operations.
xsi resync max delay Specifies the maximum time, in minutes, the phone waits past the scheduled time before starting a BroadSoft XSI
directory checksync.
Configuration Files
For specific parameters you can set in the configuration files, see Appendix A, the section, “BroadSoft XSI Enterprise Directory and Personal Contacts
Settings” on pageA-109.
Notes:
• Only the basic LDAP parameters are required to be configured for LDAP functionality.
• Advanced LDAP parameters are optional and are not required for LDAP functionality. These advanced parameters can
be used for advanced customization of the LDAP directory.
