Modifying Addresses in the Global Directory

Modifying addresses in the Global Directory works differently with dynamic entries, static entries and replicated entries. Polycom video endpoints that automatically register their addresses into the Global Directory are dynamic entries. Static entries are addresses that are manually entered into the Global Directory.

Dynamic entries

Dynamic entries are Polycom video endpoint addresses that register automatically with the Global Directory. Polycom video endpoints register with the server every ten minutes. So depending on the state of the endpoint, dynamic entries will appear or disappear from the endpoint’s view of the Global Directory. A dynamic entry for an endpoint can occur only if the endpoint is configured to report to the server. If the server’s IP address is not entered in the appropriate field when setting up the endpoint, auto registration will not occur.

The information corresponding with a dynamic entry is supplied by the endpoint configuration. You cannot delete dynamic entries but the endpoint will reappear unless it is permanently removed by unregistering the endpoint.

Static entries

A static address is a record that is manually entered into the Global Directory. Static addresses are for video endpoints that cannot register with the server. Devices not located on the LAN and require manual entry can be entered into the Global Directory through the static entry mechanism. Static entries will remain in the Global Directory until it is removed.

Replicated entries

Replicated entries, designated with by a blue booklet, are video endpoint entries that have been replicated through Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) or Internet Locator Server (ILS). When the replication of different Global Management System directories occur, auto registered video endpoints and manually entered systems contained in the default address books are replicated to and from each server. As a result, entries from Directory A’s default address book will appear in Directory B’s default address book and vice versa. Note that entries contained in address books other than the designated default will not be replicated.

Although you can select a replicated entry in the Global Directory and can click on Edit Address, these entries cannot be edited. However, the specifics of a replicated system are detailed when Edit Address is performed.

Global Directory will also permit you to delete a replicated entry. However, deleting a replicated entry is useless because the deleted replicated entry will reappear during the next replication cycle.
