Chapter 3        Global Directory

Global Management System User’s Guide

Click on this button to import a comma-delimited (.csv) address book exported from another 
Global Directory. Use this feature to share address book information between sites that cannot 
register with the same Global Directory server. For example, a satellite office without a full-time 
Internet connection might want to periodically import address books from the corporate server. 
This allows a video endpoint at a remote office to have dialing information of other systems 
within that organization. These imported addresses will be normalized with GlobalDial for the 
location of the remote sales office.

Keep Import entries as Static Addresses as deselected when importing an address directory 

containing endpoints that will register with the Global Directory.

This will prevent the Global Directory, you are importing to, from removing dynamic entries 

that register with the Global Directory that you are exporting from. If this imported directory 

contains video endpoints that report to another Global Directory server, these endpoint 

entries cannot be dynamic entries to this Global Directory. 

By leaving that check box deselected, the Global Directory will remove the imported dynamic 

entries that do not register with Global Directory within 35 minutes. Static addresses will not 

be removed from the Global Directory unless a user removes it manually.

If “Do not overwrite existing static address entries” box remains unchecked, static address 

entries with the same name and protocol type will be modified with the import address 

information. If there is no existing entry with the same name and protocol a new static 

address entry will be added.
