Note:
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a client-server protocol that offers access to directory
services via the network and/or the Internet.
ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) is a format defined by Microsoft allowing a user to access a
database running in Windows. This database can be a telephone directory for the 4059 application.
Caution: In the 4059 application, the attendant also has a personal directory allowing up to 3000
users to be recorded. This directory is saved under ALCABC32\store.dat. Remember to make a
backup copy of this file if the 4059 application is to be uninstalled as, otherwise, it will be deleted.
