2. Activate administrator mode

   In order to configure the device, the administrator mode must be activated on the end device. The Admin. mode password must be entered at the end device under MENU > MAINTENANCE > ADMINISTRATOR MODE. The default password is: 0000

Configuring LDAP access

1. Open the configuration interface.

   Under SETUP > ADVANCED go to category LDAP.

2. Entering values

   The following values must be entered here:

   • LDAP name filter: (&(|(sn=%)(givenName=%))(telephoneNumber=*))

   • LDAP number filter: (|(telephoneNumber=%)(mobile=%)(homePhone=%))

   • Server Adress: [IP adress of the Snom LDAP client interface]

   • Port: [Port of the Snom LDAP client interface]

   • Base: vdir=VDir

   • Username: [depending on the setting]

   • Password: [depending on the setting] (when providing the AD user name / password, access to personal address books is possible)

   Settings are saved via SAVE. A number guessing search is not supported and should therefore be deactivated under Advanced > Behaviour.

3. Adapting the display

   • Displaying the search results

     The search results display on the end device can be adapted in the configuration under LDAP display name. In the example, the phone number is provided with a last name and first name separated by a comma.

   • More information

     Use the ? icon beside the field to call up more detailed information.

4. Searching on the end device

   • Directory

     Press the DIRECTORY button on the phone.

   • Entering a search

     Enter a name / first letter to be searched for. The search is carried out automatically for this entry.

   • Use the Up and Down buttons to navigate the search results.

   • When the requisite contact is found, the button with the green check is used to dial the number in front of the name. Caller ID or identification of incoming calls using XPhone Connect Directory is not currently possible.

Tip

To use the XPhone Connect Directory instead of the integrated Snom address book, we recommend using the function keys to allocate the LDAP Directory to the Directory button.
