This feature is supported for OpenScape 4000 SoftGate and OpenScape
Access/Branch 500.
If no picture is available, only the name and number from the LDAP
directory entry are displayed.
If the LDAP directory server is not available, the PBX name is displayed
after a timeout.
Only OpenStage 60/80 HFA support this feature.
The OpenStage phones have to be able to access the OpenScape 4000
SoftGate or OpenScape Access/Branch 500, which is configured for Picture
CLIP. The OpenStage phones therefore do not necessarily have to be configured
on the respective OpenScape 4000 SoftGate or OpenScape Access/Branch
500.
The OpenStage phones only accept pictures encoded in jpg and of max.
50k in size.
An LDAP directory server is required for central storage of the contact
data and pictures. A web server is needed additionally for indirect picture
retrieval.
The contact data is stored on the LDAP directory server using the
keys that were configured on the OpenScape 4000 SoftGate via WBM.
It is recommended that the telephone numbers are stored in a fully
qualified format including country code and area code (e.g. 4989700754321).
If the numbers are stored using separators such as brackets, dashes or
plus signs (e.g. +49 (89) 7007-54321), then the LDAP directory server
has to apply conversion rules when checking for a match. The OpenStage
phone issues an LDAP query using plain digits without separators.
The contact data from the LDAP directory server is only shown in
some cases after a short delay, because a secure connection has to be
established to the OpenScape 4000 SoftGate via https. During this time,
the display entry provided by the OpenScape 4000 system may become visible
briefly. In indirect retrieval mode, a further request/response cycle
is needed to retrieve the picture.
