Phonebook
Path: Telephony -> Advanced Features -> Phonebook
Phonebook feature for IPPBX is just like a contact list on the mobile phones. You may add contacts to the IPPBX
system, when the contacts calling in, on the ringing user extension phone screen will display the caller number
and the contact name you have added before. If the number didn’t match any contacts in the phonebook, then
only caller number will be displayed on the ringing phone screen.
You may click on the button to add a new contact from the popup window.
Or you may export the phonebook template file to add the contacts by MS Excel and then upload the file to
generate contacts.
Contacts could be added by admin user from admin web interface, by operator from operator web interface and
by extension user from extension user web portal.
A contact added by admin user and operator user is visible to all extension users, but a contact added by an
extension user is only visible to the user who added it and the admin and operator user, other extensions won’t be
able to see it.
LDAP
Path: Telephony -> Advanced Features -> Phonebook
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an open, vendor-neutral, industry standard application protocol
for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an IP network. An LDAP server has
been pre-configured on IP PBX which is mainly used to centralize manage the phonebook.
If you are using VIP-1120PT or VIP-2140PT, LDAP configurations will be automatically configured when you were
provisioning (no matter by PNP or Quick Register Code) the phones. No more LDAP configurations required. You
may browse IPPBX phonebook directly from the IP phone LDAP menu.
If you are using IP phones from other manufacturers you’ll need to manually configure LDAP configurations using
the LDAP server credentials as below.
