Corporate Directory feature for M3900 Series and IP Phones
The Corporate Directory feature allows M3903, M3904, M3905 and IP telephone sets
to display and access a corporate-wide directory. For this feature to function across a
network of CS 1000 and Meridian 1 systems, each system must access corporate
directory data from other systems on the network. For information on IP Phones, or to
learn how to use the Corporate Directory feature on the M3903, M3904, and M3905
telephones, see Telephones and Consoles: Description, Installation, and Operation
(553-3001-367).
OTM Corporate Directory supports combining station data from multiple systems, and
uploading this data to a system. The Corporate Directory feature allows you to select
from which systems the data will be collected, the “target” systems, and to which
systems the data will be uploaded, the “upload members.”
When a system is newly configured, the Corporate Directory database does not exist.
You must use OTM to extract the Station Administration data from the OTM database
to form a new database called the Corporate Directory database. Extract data from the
following fields: name, phone number, listed directory number, customer number, and
department number. The Corporate Directory database is then uploaded to the system
where it becomes activated for use by that system’s M3903, M3904, M3905, and IP
telephone users. You should update the Corporate Directory database with the latest
Station Administration data on a regular basis. Regular updates to the Corporate
Directory database ensure that telephone user additions and deletions are captured. You
can manually schedule the update for a predefined time, or to automatically occur after
the OTM report is generated.
Requirements
Upload members (systems to which the corporate directory data will be uploaded), must
be X11 Release 25 or higher for Meridian 1 systems. Upload members that are CS 1000
systems must be Release 2.0 or higher and must be equipped with IP Line 3.0.
Target system can be any CS 1000 and Meridian 1 system. Station data from target
systems will come from the OTM Station Administration database for those systems. Be
sure the station data is synchronized with the system by retrieving station data from
within Station Administration.
Upload configuration
The Corporate Directory upload is configured using the predefined M1 Corporate
Directory report in OTM Corporate Directory.
