Syncronizing cisco ip phones address books

[Greg Maaaag]

Hello!

We have telephony server based on asterisk Active Directory domain. All ip phones are cisco and lynksys.

How I can create one phonebook for all ip phones and syncronize it with user name updates using asterisk or AD services?

Cisco Phones use XML-Services via http/https.

You could develop an application to provide an directory.

Find some information here:

You can also search for cisco xml phone service to find some examples.

Does cisco have any software for ip phones management?

Can ip phones get address book from AD?

[bernhardczapp]

The management software is called Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

CUCM can import Users from LDAP and provide them to the phones as the XML-Service I metioned above.

The IP phones only support XML-Services.

Is there any other management software for updating xmls ?:)

???

The phones don't have a local addressbook, they access an XML-Service via HTTP/HTTPS.

You provide the URL within the phone config file (SEPXXXXXXXXXXXX.cnf.xml).

If you use google...

you would find something lilke this with videos and examples:

Hi,

If you are not sure with the settings mentioned above, try to search for third party app.

Good example could be 2Ring's PHONE SERVICES: http://www.2ring.com/newjuice

There are really powerfull posibilities in directories and moreover FREE edition available and more and more.

Just take a look.
