Phonebook
10.1 Overview
This chapter shows you how to set up a phonebook for the X6004.
There are two ways to set up a phone book on the X6004.
• You can create an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) phonebook,
which imports entries from an LDAP directory on your network.
• You can also create local phonebook entries via the web configurator of the
X6004. The entries in the phonebook are available to users on your network via
the personal web portal of the X6004 (see Chapter 36 on page 487 for more
information on the web portal).
You can configure either type of phonebook, or both. If you configure both
phonebooks, then the entries from both phonebooks (duplicate entries included)
are displayed to the end users.
10.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the Phonebook Configuration screen to set up a connection to an LDAP
server on the X6004 and to either import or export your local phonebook.
• Use the LDAP Phonebook screen to map the values associated with the
account entries on the LDAP server to the phonebook values stored on the
X6004.
• Use the Local Phonebook screen to set up the X6004’s local phonebook
settings.
