A "DasTelefonbuch Deutschland" (phone book for Germany) will be needed to use this interface. You will need a network or intranet version to use it. Make sure you have enough licenses available for the "DasTelefonbuch für Deutschland". You will need one license per user.
TfD.dll provides access to DasTelefonbuch Deutschland. This file will be installed together with estos MetaDirectory.
The path for the installation of "DasTelefonbuch Deutschland" will normally be determined automatically. If this is not possible, enter the path directly.

Copying the phone book database to the hard disk is highly recommended. If you leave the data on the CD, searches will take significantly more time. |
Alternatively, you can use TVG Verlag's DasTelefonbuch Deutchland web service. Access must be configured as follows. Enter your name, email address, city and company, as well as a password that you can remember. Finally, click the Register button.
Thereafter, you will receive an email message sent to the specified email address, which will contain a PIN. Enter this PIN in the PIN field and click the Activate button.
If you have already registered, you can query your user data after entering the email address and password by clicking the Update Info button.
The Activate button will first be able to be clicked when the Email, Password and PIN fields have been entered.
Use default-interface: in rarely cases a problem using the default-interface may occur (Message: "Unknown error when accessing an unknown file"). Mostly the problem can be solved with deactvating the checkbox.

Note: the 45-day trial version is not contractually binding and will expire 45 days after activation without any obligations. The customer can exclusively activate the web service through TVG Verlag. |
