Populating the Corporate Directory
Users can place calls from the directory by selecting a number to dial from a list of stored
numbers. The corporate directory is H.350 compliant and can store up to 1000 entries in
both an alphabetical and hierarchical format. All users can manage entries in the local and
meetings directories. Only administrators can manage entries in the corporate directory.
You can populate the corporate directory by configuring
Auto Discovery
preferences or
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (
LDAP
) preferences in
Administrator Preferences :
Directory
. By default, auto discovery is enabled and LDAP is disabled. You can enable only
one of these methods. The system automatically disables the other method to prevent
duplicate entries from appearing in the corporate directory. The status of these methods,
either enabled or disabled, appears on the
Administrator Preferences : Directory
screen
in the user interface. The connection status of the LDAP installation also appears on this
page and on the
System Information
page. The values that can appear for the connection
status include the following:
