administrator can configure the filtering conditions of the LDAP request on the devices, such as the number

• Enter the content you want to search in the Dialing interface (ensure that the callee has enabled the
LDAP in the matching list).
• In the Contact interface, select the “Colleague” group to go to the LDAP search interface and enter the

The device sends a search request to the LDAP server, and the LDAP server will search all contacts
according to the input content and the filtering condition, and then return the matched result to the device.
