<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN class=070073218-04042005>I have a few
questions though I'm worried that these may be perceived to be off topic (though
they do relate to Cisco VoIP equipment) given that many of you seem to be from
the Cisco Call Manager and SCCP/MGCP worlds whereas we're running SIP. Anyhow -
I hope some of you have some Cisco SIP experience and can help.

<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN class=070073218-04042005>So here's
the scenario. </SPAN></FONT><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN
class=070073218-04042005>We are a small/medium sized company running a bunch of
Cisco 7960 and 7940 phones with SIP image 7.4 on our office LAN and among home
workers. The phones download their config file from our internal TFTP server and
talk to an outsourced VoIP centrex provider
for dialtone and voicemail - namely BroadVoice (<A

<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN
class=070073218-04042005>The set-up for most purposes works great -
we benefit from IVR, fully-featured voicemail, hold, transfer
(blind/attended) etc. with the IMPORTANT advantage that our remote users
can connect through NATs using pretty much any router which we couldn't do in
the old days of the Cisco Softphone and skinny. Overall we can do pretty much
everything we want - don't have to cost/hassle of maintaining our own CM/Unity
setup and only pay $25/user for unlimited calling to 35 countries!

<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN class=070073218-04042005>The downside
however is that there is one key feature that we want that isn't supported by
our service provider - namely LDAP directory integration. Having gone through
all of Cisco's documentation on the SIP image they make reference to supporting
LDAP directories on the SIP image for the 79XX phones. However they conveniently
fail to mention what strings/parameters we need to enter into the config file in
order to point the phone to an LDAP server</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN class=070073218-04042005>Has anyone
here had experience of SIP imaged 79XXs work with an LDAP directory? If so could
you please point me in the right direction on the above issue? Also if you have
any other general insights on how you made it work - I would truly appreciate
you taking the time to respond.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN class=070073218-04042005>As a final
point - though this is not so important - does anyone have any experience of
building XML browser apps/services around the 79XXs with the SIP
image?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
