Understanding the Directory
Directory overview
TIM Enterprise was designed upon an object-based directory that places no limits on its hierarchical width or depth. This approach permits the integration of multiple sites within one centralised system, allowing you to render, through objects arranged at different hierarchical levels, the actual structure of your company.
To facilitate the configuration and management of large systems, TIM Enterprise provides directory synchronisation with third-party applications such as Active Directory and Cisco AXL.
Each object can be placed anywhere in the Directory and it can serve different purposes. By defining relationships between these objects, the system becomes intelligent and can perform certain task automatically, e.g. reconcile calls across 'on-net' routes.
