[cisco-voip] cisco and ms lync uc

[Tony Edwards]

 hi Matt & Scott,

thanks for your excellent feedback.

as my clients do not have CUWL licensing , they are not too keen on CUPs.
besides , they have invested on ms uc platform as well for their im app. at
the same time , they like the end to end stability & single vendor platform
cisco , covering their lan , wan and mgcp gateways and ccm cluster ..etc.

but now , they are trying to leverage their investments on both cisco and ms
platforms , by integrating them and offer more uc rich features to their 500
odd user base. so , i am now trying to work on the cost effective manner to
achieve the following.

1. sim-ring ( same dn on both ip deskphone & im or different dns) , so that
incoming onnet + offnet calls will be
 hitting both the devices

2. click to call from lync im contacts ( internal & external dns) list to
near by associated user ip deskphone

3. audio conferencing on lync im

3. web collaboration , ms docs sharing ..etc

4. site to site desktop video conferencing

5. presence

even though , i do not want to turn on full blown dial plan or call
processing on the lync server, i guess with
some minimum dial rules , voice policies and some digit manipulation , i
hope to make lync server to consider
ccm cluster as her next hop pstn gateway egress.


so , that is why i am just wondering , whether or not , i should be able to
achieve all the above with out cups server in the topology and with just ccm
cluster and lync server in the mix.
