26.5 Different connection types between multiple SwyxServers
In this scenario you see four SwyxServers, two in each case (servers A and B / servers C and D) being within one organization (here: Smith Ltd and Jones Ltd). Each pair is linked via a SwyxLink trunk with the connection type "In the same organization".
Between the organizations is a further SwyxLink trunk connection, in which the connection type is specified as "From another organization". For the example, a user is created on each server and assigned to a group.
As a result of this trunk configuration, the data of the following users is thus visible (or not visible) in the Global Phonebook of the other server sites:
On SwyxServer A,
*User A and User B are visible
*User C and User D are not visible
On SwyxServer B,
*User A, User B and User C are visible
*User D is not visible
On SwyxServer C,
*User B, User C and User D are visible
*User A is not visible
On SwyxServer D,
*User C and User D are visible
*User A and User B are not visible
