Link To Directory<br />

In the CPND application, if the Link To Directory check box is selected, OTM will pull<br />

the Display Name attribute from the Employee Editor and use this name as the CPND<br />

name for the DN. If the Link To Directory check box is cleared, OTM allows the CPND<br />

name for the DN to be different from the Display Name attribute for the employee that<br />

owns the DN.<br />

Using overlays<br />

Nortel recommends that you not use the overlays to make changes to Class of Service,<br />

features, and keys. Before the changes entered through the overlays are reflected in<br />

OTM a synchronization with OTM would be required.<br />

The overlays can be used to modify certain telephone features without modifying<br />

names; however, modifying names in the overlays or performing moves, adds, or<br />

changes using the overlays will cause the Link To Directory check box to become<br />

cleared. This is manageable only if there is a process in place to record the changes and<br />

manually update OTM later, or if you do not want the CPND name to be reflected in the<br />

Display Name attribute or the employee name. In this situation, the CPND name (the<br />

name appearing on telephone appears) will be different from the employee name in<br />

Station <strong>Administration</strong> and in the Employee tab of the Employee Editor.<br />

Telephone changes, other than a change to name information, may be made through the<br />

overlays and then synchronized to pull the information into OTM. If you choose to make<br />

changes to the CPND name using the overlays you will need to develop and follow an<br />

appropriate process to resynchronize the data in OTM as necessary.<br />

How names are populated in OTM<br />

Names are populated in OTM using one of the following three methods:<br />

By retrieving telephone information from the PBX for telephones that are not<br />

defined in OTM<br />

By adding new CPND names using the CPND application<br />

By retrieving CPND names from the PBX using the CPND application<br />

Retrieving telephone information from the PBX<br />

Retrieval of the telephone information takes place in two phases. First, a command is<br />

issued to write the TNB data block information to a file, and then the file is parsed to<br />

update the OTM database.<br />
