■ Every phone configured on that regional office
■ Every remote regional office for which it is configured to collect user
directory data.
By default, data collection happens every six hours (360 minutes). 3Com
Corporation recommends that, if you have more than one regional office,
you configure your data collection frequency to occur at least three times
a day to ensure the databases are synchronized.
Branch office global directory configuration is automatically configured
during installation and does not require any additional configuration. The
branch office configuration tool is provided for any manual modifications
that might be required.
