[cisco-voip] SX 20 and MS Teams

[Mark H. Turpin]

Terry,

You've got everything you need to do video meetings quite well the only concern might be the capacity with your on-prem CWMS. Do you feel you have sufficient capacity ports/processor-wise for your user community?

There are free 90-day Webex trials you could stand up in the cloud if there's a concern there. If people aren't doing much Webex using your on-prem systems today, it might be the fastest road to Rome...

Regarding registration placement, I'd suggest putting the SX and DX on CUCM vs. Expressway. Your Expressway deployment should've included the trunks you'll need to make b2b calls and/or calls to Webex cloud.

Depending on how your CWMS is deployed, you may or may not have the IRP which will provide connectivity for remote folks. Your Expressways would really only be in use if you'll have remote video users calling into your internal network, or you need to call other organizations' Webex / or on-premise video endpoints.

Are you planning on running the DX80 off-net / at someone's home, etc.? I saw you mention MRA, so I wanted to ask.

I'm not sure how much you care about the SX20/DX80 being able to join a Microsoft Teams meeting. I'm a hardcore Cisco Webex guy but I have to acknowledge, there's a company called Pexip that made a bridging solution which you can use to gateway calls and be the connection broker between your Cisco / Expressway infrastructure and Teams. If you need OBTP into Teams meetings, we made some software to schedule & enable that </sales>.

But more importantly, we decided we're going to doing everything covid-related for free, so I'm happy to jump on a Webex and help you out as much as I can at no charge.

I first of all again want to thank this brilliant community of very knowledgeable administrators.    You have solved many issues for us admins and I for one have truly appreciated the assistance.

Once again I am reaching out but this time mostly for guidance or suggestions.



We have two SX 20’s installed for remote video connection for class instruction.   That went along very well but over the past while we have not used that video connection that much.   Staff and students used other avenues.    Now under the Covid19 situation in renewed need for video for remote meetings of staff via video to other video endpoints, WebEx and connection with Microsoft Teams if at all possible.    So here is my request for guidance and or suggestions



We have CUCM 12.5

IM and Presence 12.5

Expressway Core and Edge X12.7

WebEx on prem 4.0

Unity 12.5

SX 20 currently registered to CUCM 12.5

DX 80  currently waiting for a license



So here is my request for guidance and or suggestions

What do you the administrators suggest should be our configuration?

I read that the devices should be registered to the Expressway so should the SX 20 be registered to CUCM 12.5 or the Expressway Core?

And would that be the same for the DX80 like Jabber MRA?



Thanks in advance
