Appendix H
Setting the MCU for Integration Into
Microsoft Environment
Overview
The Polycom® Visual Communications offers high quality video and audio multipoint
conferencing by integrating the Polycom network devices and endpoints into Microsoft®
platforms. The Polycom® RealPresence® Collaboration Server (MCU) system can be
integrated into the following Microsoft environments:
• Office Communications Server 2007 environment (Microsoft R2, Wave 13)
• Lync Server 2010 environment (Microsoft Wave 14)
Point-to-point and multipoint audio and video meetings can be initiated from Office
Communicator/Lync client, Windows Messenger and Polycom video endpoints (HDX and
VSX) when the environment components are installed and configured.
Multipoint calls are enabled when the MCU is installed in the Microsoft environment and is
configured for unified communications. Routing to conferences can be performed by the
Office Communications Server/Lync Server either by:
• Matched URI dialing - using the SIP URI address (both Office Communications Server
and Lync Server)
• Numerical dialing - enables a common dialing plan for Meeting Rooms across Office
Communications Server and H.323 infrastructures (not available in Lync server
environment).
Integration into Microsoft environment (using Lync endpoints) is supported in AVC Conferencing
Mode only.
From Version 7.0.x, Microsoft R1 is not supported with MCU systems.
Only TLS connections to the MCU will work, TCP connections will not work.
The RMX does not support working with multiple Edge servers.
