Contacts
Contacts can be created and managed in contact groups in the PBX. When activating the LDAP server, these contacts or contact groupscan be transferred to telephones connected to the PBX required they are supported by the PBX.
Contact Groups
The contact groups serve to manage contact data (phone numbers, names, contact pictures, addresses and e-mail / internet addresses). The contact data can be used by the connected phones (if supported) to dial and to display on incoming calls.
For example, to organize large address books by department, the contacts can be assigned to different contact groups. In addition, contact groups can be used to distinguish between different types of phone.
New contacts are automatically assigned to the specified standard contact groups either as soon as they are created (when you click the New button), or they are imported as a vCard or from the call data list. However, contacts that have been created by importing a contact file (csv import) are not automatically assigned to a standard contact group.
You can define one or more contact group(s) as your standard contact group.
Note: If a large number of phones are connected to the PBX, or large volumes of contact details are to be uploaded, it may in certain cases take several hours before the contact data is available to all the phones after the PBX has been commissioned.LDAP server
The LDAP server is needed to transfer the PBX's contact data to those IP end devices which support this transfer method (e.g. SIP phones with LDAP support). Any contact data that is input directly on a phone is not transferred to the central contact files.
The LDAP server's IP address matches the PBX's IP address and is predefined.
Users will only be transferred as LDAP contact group, if the system-wide automatic exchange line request is enabled.
Further help under Exchange line requestWhen switched off, the security and performance of the PBX are improved. No contact data can be transferred to the IP end devices.
Auerswald/FONtevo provides LDAP support for the following IP end devices:
IP telephone | COMfortel 1200 IP |
IP telephones | COMfortel 1400 IP / 2600 IP / 3600 IP (from firmware version 2.4A) |
IP telephones | COMfortel D-100/D-110/D-200/D-210/D-400/D-600 |
Enter the following values into the IP end device to transfer the contact data from the LDAP server of the PBX to the IP end device:
Selected contact groups (e.g. in the factory settings) | Contacts of a single user (e.g. for the internal number 31) | |
|---|---|---|
User name | cn=auerswaldschandelah,dc=auerswald | phoneNumber=31,dc=User number |
BaseDN | dc=auerswald | dc=auerswald |
Password | auerswaldsecret | User password of the user |
Note: You must enter the complete character string. Ensure you type the capital and lower-case letters correctly, and do not type any blank spaces before or after the , and = space. Note: In order to avoid input errors, on the web interface in the lines below the entry and list fields you can mark and copy the user name and BaseDN.Configuration
