Configuring Corporate and Personal Directories

The Directories menu on the Cisco UnifiedIP Phones 7906G and 7911G gives

users access to several directories. These directories can include:

•Corporate Directory—Allows a user to look up phone numbers for

co-workers.

To support this feature, you must configure corporate directories. See the

“Configuring Corporate Directories” section on page5-13 for more

information.

•Personal Directory—Allows a user to store a set of personal numbers.

To support this feature, you must provide the user with software to configure

the personal directory. See the “Configuring Personal Directory” section on

page 5-13 for more information.

Cisco Unified CallManager uses a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

(LDAP) directory to store authentication and authorization information about

users of Cisco Unified CallManager applications that interface with

Cisco Unified CallManager. Authentication establishes a user’s right to access the

system. Authorization identifies the telephony resources that a user is permitted

to use, such as a specific telephone extension.

After the LDAP directory configuration completes, users can use the Corporate

Directory service on your CiscoUnified IP Phone to look up users in the

corporate directory.

Personal Directory consists of the following features:

•Personal Address Book (PAB)

•Personal Fast Dials (Fast Dials)

•Address Book Synchronizer utility
