Subtree DN The Active Directory subdirectory to restrict the search to.
Search Options
Type • Search on demand: The Directory tab on the softphone will have a Search button. The
Directory tab is empty until the user performs a search. Each time the user clicks Search, a new
retrieve is performed. This option is recommended for directories with more than 500 entries.
• Type to filter list: The Directory tab on the softphone will not have a Search button. The
Directory tab is populated as soon as Bria starts, with the records from the database (restricted
by the Max records field. When the user types in the filter field in the Directory tab, the local
contents are filtered (a new retrieve is not performed).
Search timeout A search of the database will stop if it has not succeeded by this timeout.
Max results Optional, to restrict the number of records returned.
• When “Search on demand” is chosen, this field can be used to prevent the user retrieving too
many records (and slowing down the system).
• When “Type to filter” is chosen, make sure this number is at least equal to the number of
records in your database, otherwise records at the end of the database will never be retrieved.
0 means no maximum number of records.
Update interval When “Type to filter” is chosen, the database is retrieved with this frequency. If the user has
filtered the Directory contents, then when this timer expires, the filter is lost and the entire
database is displayed again.
