[cisco-voip] cisco and ms lync uc

[Matt Slaga (US)]

Tony,

I would suggest doing a sim-ring environment.  If you are just looking for click to call from web pages and outlook contacts and not replacing the desktop phone, then you could configure remote destinations for the users using Cisco and Lync.  When a phone call comes in, both Cisco and Lync will ring and the call can be answered by one or the other.  You will need to configure the company phone number rules text file in Lync and possibly trunk configurations as well (in Lync), to pre-pend a 9, strip steering codes, etc.  Since you only have one egress point from Lync, the dial plan and voice policies should be easy enough to configure.

Subject: [cisco-voip] cisco and ms lync uc

hi all,

i am wondering whether any one here already implemented the following 2 cisco and ms un integrations scenarios ? if yes , can you please extend possible guidance ?

scenario 1
========
topology is as follows

sccp cisco phones -----> ccm7.x cluster -------> sip trunk ------> ms lync -----> ms im client on pc

objectives are as follows

we have 2 x independent uc cluster of cisco , where all 500 + ip phones lives , while on the other hand , ms lync server services 500 + im users in totally separate way.now , i am planning to integrate these 2 x vendor uc clusters in order to provide a "true inter vendor uc" collaborative experience to my clients.

that way , we can offer following services to the clients.

keep the ccm cluster as a sole & central ip pbx in this topology and it works as gateway or default gateway to lync server and i do not want to turn on full blown call routing functionality on lync at all.however , i am aiming to provide all my im users more than just chat, such as "click to call" from any ms apps such as http pages , ms office docs ..etc , click to dial by dialing any contact number from im gui , so that im will control the desk phone at the user desk , audio and desktop video , conferencing and softphone functionality from im gui itself. however , all the call routing will be processed via ccm cluster and not via lync server.

can this be achievable ?

scenario 2
==========
2nd topology i am looking at is as follows

sccp cisco phones -----> ccm7.x cluster -------> sip trunk ------> ms lync -----> cisco cuci lync client on pc ( just like cuci moc client) -------> registered with ccm as sccp endpoint.

as cuci lync client is jointly produced by both cisco and ms and also as cisco cuci lync got a familiar cisco soft phone kind of functionality , besides , it can be configured on ccm as sccp end point , i am considering this scenario too. but the biggest issue for me with this scenario 2 is that , it may costs me a lot $$ on cuci lync client software licensing , since i do not have cisoc enterprise licencing. apart from that , can this be achievable ?

in this scenario too, i would like to keep call processing and call routing intelligence with ccm cluster and not with lync at all.

scenario 3
========

installing cups with in cisco uc cluster and get the cup-c client to do all ms lync im does. but for that , i need to convince my smb business clients to spend more money $$$ , which they can not do it right now ( but perhaps in future certainly), since they have already invested on ms exchange and lync uc fleet. so , this option may not fly with my clients.



thanks a lot for your help in this matter.

tony
