Using LDAP on Fanvil Phones

I'm using Version 2.3.2.4600, phone is able to detect calls coming in but when trying to access ldap through the phone's menu the phone is stuck at a "loading" screen. (ldap doesn't contain a lot of user, about 100 users but roughly 20-30 of those have phone numbers in them)

I wonder if it has to do with the default 'telephone' field I've changed...

ok I've solved the issue but I can't get the "ldap number filter" to work (doesn't show in the screenshot since it shows up on the new firmware)

same problem here

LDAP Name Filter and LDAP Number Filter

when i press ldap

it shows useless data

and i can not search even

??????

Ethan, it had to do with poor implementation on fanvil's part. it didn't save the username field as it should since the field was limited to X characters and the ldap path was too long.

so I put the username in a shorter ldap path. the phone didn't crawl for username/contacts so I redirected the phone to one location where I store all of my contacts and this is how it works.

It works when someone calls in from outside but doesn't work when an extension calls another extension, for those I update the phones manually. I guess half a solution is better then none

oh and I think it has issues with non English characters

Tnx for the reply Shachar

 after upgrading to the latest frame ware I eliminate  field limitation, also the phone loads the contacts but the search result its not satisfying. how did you redirected the phone to another location? did you use Cloud phonebook URL?

if so please guide me how you did this?

Let's see. in phonebook -> cloud phonebook -> LDAP (Lightweight Active Directory Protocol) Settings

server address is your domain name like domain.local

authentication: simple

version is version 3

server port is 389 (you can use telnet to check if the port is open and not blocked, you'll have to install telnet via windows settings -> apps -> add windows features or something like it)

username is in the format of cn=username,ou=businessOU,dc=domain,dc=local

password is the username password

enable calling search is checked (when the phone calls somewhere else, although I couldn't figure out extension to extension calling with LDAP)

Search Base is ou=contacts,ou=users,ou=City,ou=businessOU,dc=domain,dc=local

Search line is set to auto

then what you're actually looking for like telephone is set to telephonenumber

mobile is mobile

display name is cn

other is homephone

ldap name filter is objectclass=*

LDAP Number Filter is (TelephoneNumber=*)

I remember I had issues as well and had to dig to find some information. I also think I had issues with non English characters and simply used English (I wonder if a firmware update fixed that issue as well).

I couldn't manage to get calling extension to extension to work with LDAP, I thought about opening a case/emailing Fanvil but didn't.

I was also thinking of a way to distribute the config via IIS but was in a dilemma on how to limit the testing phase to only my phone.
