26.4.1 Connection of three SwyxServers within an organization
In this example, three SwyxServers which are all within one organization (e.g. within a company) are each interconnected via a SwyxLink trunk. Within the configuration of the relevant trunk, the Intersite connection "Remote SwyxServer in the same organization" has been defined. In such a link-up there is typically a degree of mutual trust between the individual branches, allowing the status of colleagues to be exchanged among them. The administration in such a link-up is usually controlled centrally from one site for all connected systems.
This connection causes users of server A to be visible in the Global Phonebooks of server B and server C, and vice versa. If the administrator has created a unique number plan in advance for the organization, it can be defined that users are displayed in the Global Phonebook with only their internal numbers. If there is no unique number plan, it should be configured that a synchronization of the public numbers is carried out between the servers.
The visibility of the status information of the users or groups among each other, or the possibility of using functions such as Collaboration, Video and Instant Messaging (only SwyxIt! Messenger, not Swyx Messenger) across servers, can be configured from each server side via the relationships of the users and groups to each other. See 11.2.8 The "Properties…" Dialog: The "Relationships" Tab.
