LDAP
The phone supports remote Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directories. An
LDAP directory is hosted on a remote server and may be the central directory for a large
organisation spread across several cities, offices, and departments. You can configure the
phone to access the directory and allow users to search the directory for names and
telephone numbers.
The LDAP settings are also available as parameters in the configuration file. See
“remoteDir Module: Remote Directory Settings” on page 156

Module: Remote Directory Settings” on page 156
. Default values and ranges are listed
there.
About LDAP attribute filters
The LDAP filters on this page give you control over how directory entry search results are
determined. For example, consider if
gn
is the firstname attribute and
sn
is the lastname
attribute in the LDAP search base. The filter <attribute>=% returns records based on the
beginning of the user-entered string. If gn=% is used for a firstname filter, entering “da”
returns records such as Daisy, Dale, David, etc.
