Configuring Corporate and Personal Directories

The Contact button on the Cisco Unified IP Phone 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 page 8-27for 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 8-27for more information.

Configuring Corporate Directories

Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory to store authentication and authorization information about users of Cisco Unified Communications Manager applications that interface with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Authentication establishes the users’ rights to access the system. Authorization identifies the telephony resources that a user is permitted to use, such as a specific phone extension.

After completing the LDAP directory configuration, users can use the Corporate Directory service on their phone to look up users in the corporate directory.

Configuring Personal Directory

Personal Directory consists of the following features:

•Personal Address Book (PAB)

•Speed Dials

•Address Book Synchronization Tool (TABSynch)

Users can access Personal Directory features by these methods:

•From a web browser—Users can access the PAB and Speed Dials features from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager User Options web pages

•From the Cisco Unified IP Phone—Choose Contacts to search the corporate directory or the user’s personal directory.
