• Via the LDAP server you can also query another communications system from the
family OpenCom 100/Aastra 800. If, for example, you connect multiple communi-
cations systems into a network (see PBX Networking starting on page 157) you can
then manage call number information on a central communications system.
Please note that information queried via LDAP cannot be forwarded via the LDAP
server of the same communications system.
Use the Aastra Name program for more advanced LDAP configuration, for connecting
additional data sources or for additional call number conversions. After authorisation
via a license key, the Aastra Name program offers a LDAP service which can be
queried by the OpenCom 100 communications system. The Aastra Name program
provides you with the following features:
• Bundling multiple data sources: Querying one or multiple LDAP servers and file
sources in the CSV and LDIF formats.
• Rule-based call-number conversion, separate configurable rules for the call-
numbers-to-name search and for conversion of call numbers for outgoing calls.
SNMP Interface
Components connected to the network are monitored using network management
software in many companies. The management software (“SNMP-Manager”) commu-
nicates with the network components via SNMP (Simple Network Management Pro-
tocol).
You can integrate the OpenCom 100 communications system into the SNMP-based
network management. There is a Windows service program for this (“SNMP Agent”).
The SNMP Agent communicates with the OpenCom 100 communications system via
the CSTA interface. The status information queried via the CSTA interface is forwarded
by the SNMP Agent to the network management software.
Note
The SNMP Agent uses the CSTA interface of the OpenCom 100 communications sys-
tem in an operating mode so designated. This is why no additional CSTA licence key
is required for operation.
