With the Enterprise directory, the user can perform an enterprise search for contacts from the Avaya Aura® Device Services (AADS). When you configure the Enterprise directory for a user, the phone displays the directory in the Contacts application as a contacts search source.

Users can select the Enterprise directory as a contacts search source. When enabled, the name of the search source changes from System contacts to Enterprise directory.

You can use the web interface and the 46xxsettings.txt to configure the parameters and enable the Enterprise directory.

You must configure AADS_URL parameter for the phone to obtain the Avaya Aura® Device Services configuration details after the Single sign-on (SSO) authentication.

To search for a contacts, you can enable the user with the following search modes:

• Basic: Enables the user to search with the name or the extension number of the contact.
• Advanced: To make the contact search more specific, Advanced search enables the user to search for a contact with additional details such as the name or the extension number, location, and department of the contact.
• Forced Basic: Enables the user to search for the contact with Basic search mode.
• Forced Advanced: Enables the user to search for the contact with Advance search mode.

You can restrict the user from changing the search mode by enabling the phone to use forced search modes.

This feature is available on Avaya J139 IP Phone, Avaya J159 IP Phone, Avaya J169/J179 IP Phone, and Avaya J189 IP Phones.
