Appendix D: Administering the 4620

Thin Client Directory

Introduction 5
If you have a corporate database that supports the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP),
Avaya’s Thin Client Directory application can communicate with that database. Your 4620 IP
Telephone users can then use their phones to search for names, telephone numbers, or other
information, and use the results of their searches to call a person directly, store a number on a
Speed Dial button, and/or view more details about the person.
This appendix provides the information needed to install and administer Avaya’s Thin Clie nt
Directory. It has four primary sections:
Application Platform Requirements - Describes the operating environment for the Thin Clie nt
Directory application.
Installing the Thin Client Directory on the Server - Lists the Avaya-provided download fi les
needed for installation, pre-installation requirements, and step-by -step installation instructions.
4620 Web Application User Interface - Describes and illustrates the Directory appl ication
screens with which 4620 IP Telephone users perform Directory searches and review search
results.
Directory Database Administration Interface - Describes and illustrates the administration
screens with which you define LDAP attributes and configure the user interface screens.
Figure D-1 on page D-2 provides a high-level overview of the Thin Client architecture.
