●
When you have configured the LDAP query for a company, this changes
the telephone book search for the DECT system terminals and corded
system telephones. Instead of a continuous display of search results, you
have to first enter a series of characters when entering for a search. Search
results can only be displayed after starting the search.
●
Each individual LDAP-queried record is reserved for a definable time in a
Forum 5004/5008/5012 communications system cache (setting:
Delete
cache
in minutes, 50 cache entries per company each with a separate time
counter per entry). You should shorten this time (e. g. to 10 minutes) if, for
example, the assignment of guests and room telephones in a hotel is
managed via the LDAP server. If you set the
Delete cache
setting to
0 minutes the cache is not automatically deleted. Delete the cache as
needed. Select the desired company entries on the

Ideally, call numbers on the LDAP server are saved in the E.123 format
beginning with a plus sign and country code. Furthermore, the bundles
configured in the standard route of a company should have the setting
E.164 conversion
starting on page 239). Special
call numbers such as the emergency call number “110” should not be
managed via LDAP, rather in the telephone book of the communications
system.
●
A call number queried via LDAP is adjusted before use. First of all, the
characters in brackets beginning with “0” are deleted such as, e.g.
“+49(030)1234”. Then all characters are deleted that are not numbers or
plus signs.
If the resulting call number is in the E.123 format, the initial plus sign is
replaced with “00”. In addition, the seizure code of the company standard
route is prefixed and (if configured, see
page 239) the own prefix and the own base call number is deleted as
necessary.
If the resulting call number is not in the E.123 format the
