Linking to the OTM Directory
Prior to the introduction of the OTM Directory Service, each telephone can be assigned
a first name, last name, and department in Station Administration. When defining the
DN key on the telephone, the CPND name can be linked to the display name of the
employee associated with the telephone.
Station Administration links to the following fields in OTM Directory:
Name attributes: Last Name, First Name for employees, and Name attribute for
Roles and Projects
Note: Do not input spaces in the names of Roles/Projects.
Organization Path, which interacts with the Department attribute in Station
Extension Number
Terminal Number
Linking through the Station Dialog window
The employee name and department are linked to the OTM Directory through the
Station Data dialog window to the Employee Editor within the OTM Directory.
The Department field in Station Administration derives from the last node in the ORG
path in OTM Directory. This may not correspond exactly to the OTM Directory
Department setting. For example, if Department is configured as the second-last node in
the Directory ORG path, Station Administration assigns whatever is the last node in the
ORG path as Department, and so the two fields do not correspond.
To link to the OTM Directory:
Select directory options through the Directory Options dialog box (Figure 58) in the
Station Data box. See “Directory Options” on page 371.
