Chapter 5 Configuring Features, Templates, Services, and Users Modifying Phone Button Templates Configuring Corporate Directories Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory to store authentication and authorization information about users of Cisco Unified Communications Manager applications that interface with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Authentication establishes a user's right to access the system. Authorization identifies the telephony resources that a user is permitted to use, such as a specific telephone extension. For more information, refer to the "LDAP System", "LDAP Directory", and "LDAP Authentication" chapters in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide. After the LDAP directory configuration completes, users can use the Corporate Directory service on their Cisco Unified IP Phone to look up users in the corporate directory. Configuring Personal Directory Personal Directory consists of the following features: • Personal Address Book (PAB) • Personal Fast Dials (Fast Dials) • Address Book Synchronization Tool (TABSynch) Users can access Personal Directory features by these methods: • From a web browser-Users can access the PAB and Fast Dials features from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager User Options web pages • From the Cisco Unified IP Phone-Users can choose Directories > Personal Directory to access the PAB and Fast Dials features from their phones • From a Microsoft Windows application-Users can use the TABSynch tool to synchronize their PABs with Microsoft Outlook. To configure Personal Directory from a web browser, users must access their User Options web pages. You must provide users with a URL and login information. To synchronize with Microsoft Outlook, users must install the TABSynch utility, which is provided by you. To obtain the TABSynch software to distribute to users, choose Application > Plugins from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, then locate and click Cisco Unified IP Phone Address Book Synchronizer. Modifying Phone Button Templates Phone button templates let you assign speed dials and features to programmable line buttons. While both SCCP and SIP phones support speed-dial buttons, support for call features on buttons depends on the call control protocol: • On SCCP phones, call handling features that can be assigned to buttons include call forward, redial, hold, conferencing, and so on. • On SIP phones, only the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature can be assigned to a button. Ideally, you modify templates before registering phones on the network. In this way, you can access customized phone button template options from Cisco Unified Communications Manager during registration.
