The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) enables access to a directory server via an LDAP client. Various personal information is stored there, e.g. the name, organization and contact data of persons working in an organization. When the LDAP client has found a person’s data, e. g. by looking up the surname, the user can call this person directly using the displayed number.

LDAP is available only on OpenStage 60/80 phones.

For Users

If you have access to an LDAP directory (contact the responsible administrator), you can search contacts in a company-wide directory. A user-friendly, advanced search function is available for this. You can transfer any entries found to your local phonebook. (>= V2 R0)


Finding an LDAP entry

  • Press the phone book mode key until the Corporate Directory ("Corporate") tab is active.
  • Select and confirm the option shown in the Options context menu.
  • Select and confirm the required search field (for example, "Last name").
  • Enter a search text.

Once you have completed all required search fields, confirm the search request by selecting and confirming "OK" on the display keypad. You can perform searches using the name (simple search) or different information on an entry (advanced search), for example, job title or department name.

You can now:

  • call the LDAP contact
  • view the LDAP entry
  • copy the entry into the local phone book (>= V2 R0)


New search

To conduct a new search, you must first clear all the search fields. Select and confirm the option shown in the Delete context menu. All search fields have been cleared.


Defining a qualifier before a search

Prior to a search, you can select which qualifiers should also appear in the output list in the Options context menu. Select and confirm the option shown. You may choosebetween the following criteria:

  • No qualifier
  • Job function
  • Address 1
  • Email
  • Business 1
  • Mobile
  • Business 2
  • Private
  • Company
  • Address 2

Select and confirm the desired qualifier. Exit the list.


Importing an LDAP entry into the phonebook (>=V2 R0)

  • Select an entry.
  • Open the context menu.
  • Select and confirm the option shown.
  • The view changes to the personal phonebook.
  • Enter additional information.

The LDAP entry is now saved as a contact in your personal phonebook.
