LDAP
With Release 4.0.0, the 6800i Series IP phones are able to use a Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP) server for reading directories over an IP network. When config-
ured, users are able to search for contacts, dial out to contacts, copy contacts to the
Local Directory, or simply view the contact’s details.
Administrators can fully configure an LDAP Directory using the configuration files.
Additionally, users are able to enable/disable the LDAP Directory, change the default
label of the LDAP folder, and input a username and password through the phone’s UI
if required.
