Supported Characters in the Directory

---

Caution Using non-ISO-Latin1 characters greater than 127 with DC Directory, Netscape Directory, or Active Directory can cause directory database errors. Cisco CallManager Release 3.3 and above supports all ISO-Latin1 (ISO-8859-1) characters and all non-ISO-Latin1 characters in the range 0-127 with any directory.

---

Cisco CallManager only supports ISO-Latin1 and ASCII characters in the User Configuration windows in Cisco CallManager Administration.

After you download the locale installer, you can display field names in the User Configuration windows in Cisco CallManager Administration in your chosen language. However, Cisco CallManager only supports ISO-Latin1 (ISO-8859-1) characters and non-ISO-Latin1 characters in the range 0-127 in the fields and in all user accounts and passwords that are needed to access these windows. If a user enters data that is not in the allowed character range, a dialog box displays and states that the user must enter data by using only ISO-Latin1 characters and non-ISO-Latin1 characters in the range 0-127.

Associating Devices to a User

After you have added a user, you can associate devices over which users will have control. Users can control some devices, such as phones. Applications that are identified as users can control other devices, such as CTI ports. When users have control of a phone, they can control certain settings for that phone, such as speed dial and call forwarding.

Before You Begin

To assign devices to a user, you must access the User Configuration window for that user. See the "Searching the Global Directory" section for information on accessing information on existing users. When the User Configuration window displays, perform the following procedure to assign devices.

Procedure

---

Step 1 In the Application Profiles pane, click Device Association.

Step 2 Limit the list of available devices by entering the search criteria in the Available Device List Filters section, if desired, and click Select Devices.

Step 3 Check the check box of one or more devices that you want to associate with the user. You can assign one primary extension from the devices to which the user is assigned by clicking the radio button in the Primary Ext. column for that device.

See the "Searching the Global Directory" section for information on accessing information on existing users. When the User Information window displays, perform the following procedure to associate profiles.

Procedure

---

Step 1 In the Application Profiles pane, choose Auto Attendant.

Step 2 In the Name Dialing field, enter the attendant name (LastFirstM). For example, for John Quincy Smith, enter SmithJohnQ.

If a same name or same numerical mapping occurs, a prompt indicates a duplicate key. At this time, you can either change the user name (through nicknames or removal of middle initials) or allow duplicates.

Step 3 Click Insert.
