The Global Directory
The Global Directory option on the Central Manager page (see the left
side of Figure 3) allows you to search for configured users in any office
linked to the Central Manager. You can search using first or last name,
phone extension, or site ID or name. Once you find the user, you can
launch the VCX Administrator provisioning interface for the office data
server where the user is configured. This feature is useful in multi-site
systems, where there are multiple regional offices and possibly branch
offices associated with a regional office.
The Global Directory is also used in VCX version 7.1 systems for call
routing. Prior to version 7.1, you had to configure routes between each
VCX call processing end point to enable calling in a multi-site system.
With version 7.1, VCX software can use the Global Directory on each call
processor to make call routing decisions. See Route Plan Configuration
Requirements for more information on routing. See topics in this section
for information on setting up the Global Directory.
