3.11.3.2. Phone Configuration Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

The phone configuration provides information needed in order to access the OpenScape 4000 SoftGate as well as information about the mode of operation.
The configuration can either be performed via the local phone menu, the Web interface (WBM) or via the OpenScape Deployment Service (DLS).

Configuration via the phone menu

Admin > Applications >XML applications > Add application
This is basically the data for connectivity to the server hosting the feature (usually OpenScape 4000 SoftGate) and the mode of operation.
  • Display name:
  • Name of the application displayed on the application tab of the phone's display. Enter ldap.
  • Application name:
  • Used internally to identify the XML application running on the phone. Enter ldap.
  • Server address:
  • The IP address of the OpenScape 4000 SoftGate (e.g. 172.29.136.224).
  • Server port:
  • The number of the http port used by the server to provide the XML documents for the application. Varies according to the protocol configured, but OpenScape 4000 SoftGate only allows 443.
  • Protocol:
  • The protocol used for communication with the server. Choose https, because OpenScape 4000 SoftGate only allows https.
  • Program name:
  • Enter ldap.
  • Use proxy:
  • Must be set to No.
    INFO:
    None of the other configuration items is currently evaluated for the feature.
    IMPORTANT:
    If the feature is to be deactivated, the LDAP settings should be deleted.

Phone canonical settings

For retrieval of contact data from the LDAP directory server, the remote telephone number is converted according to the canonical dial settings (Admin > Local functions > Locality > Canonical settings) when a call arrives. The format of the resulting number should match the format the numbers are stored under on the LDAP directory server. It is recommended to convert the numbers to fully qualified format, i.e. adding country and area code to the subscriber number. This ensures that the number used for lookup is unique.

    INFO:
    The subsequent entry GUI entry created in the phone menu under Applications is only a "dummy" entry to allow the feature to work. Navigating to it from the phone menu will result "Unable to parse information from the server".
