INTRODUCTION
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an industry standard application for accessing and
maintaining a distributed directory information via the Internet Protocol network. LDAP is specified in a
series of RFCs (Request for Comments) from IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force).
LDAP is a client-server protocol and the GXV3240 can be used as LDAP client to access the directory
and search contacts remotely from the LDAP server. This User Guide describes how to use the LDAP
directory on the GXV3240 and a sample configuration is provided with the built-in LDAP server on the
Grandstream UCM6100 series IPPBX. The audience are administrators or who maintains the GXV3240
configurations. It is expected that the audience are familiar with basic knowledge of LDAP and tasks
involved with configuring LDAP client.
To learn more about GXV3240's basic functions and advanced features, please visit link
http://www.grandstream.com/support to download the latest "GXV3240 User Guide" and "GXV3240
Administration Guide".

REQUIREMENT
The following equipment and services are required in order to use the GXV3240 LDAP directory:
A properly installed and configured LDAP server
The LDAP configuration on the GXV3240 relies on the LDAP server setup in order to retrieve the
stored contacts information. Therefore, before starting using the LDAP directory on the GXV3240,
please make sure the LDAP server is properly installed and configured.
LDAP is an open and vendor-neutral standard. There are different LDAP servers that users can
choose to install to host the cooperate directory. For example, OpenLDAP is commonly used on
Linux operating system and can be downloaded here: http://www.openldap.org/software/download/.
OpenLDAP software for Windows operating system can also be found online with easy setup wizard.
Besides OpenLDAP, the GXV3240 LDAP client works with Microsoft Active Directory server as well.
The system administrators could choose the LDAP server to install based on the business needs and
preference.
GXV3240 with firmware version 1.0.1.11 or higher
Please visit http://www.grandstream.com/support/firmware to download the latest GXV3240 firmware
and release note.
Functional network environment where the GXV3240 and the LDAP server are connected.
The LDAP server can be located on the Internet or corporate intranet and the LDAP protocol runs
over TCP/IP. Therefore, please keep the network access working between the GXV3240 and the
LDAP server for the GXV3240 to retrieve information from the server.

LDAP CONFIGURATION ON GXV3240
In the LDAP server, the information is stored as "entry" which is a collection of attributes under a globally-
unique DN. The LDAP client needs to be properly configured to access the LDAP server, perform search
within the DN and retrieve the result. On the GXV3240, LDAP configurations can be done via web UI,
LCD or configuration file provisioning. This section describes how to configure LDAP settings on the
GXV3240 via these three methods.
CONFIGURE LDAP VIA WEB UI
1. Log in the GXV3240 web UI from your computer's web browser as administrator or end user.
2. Navigate to Maintenance->LDAP Book page.
3. Fill out the LDAP server address, attributes and filter information. See [Table 1: LDAP Configuration
Options] below for detailed information of each option.
4. Once the configuration is done, click on "Save" on the bottom of the page.
