[cisco-voip] SX 20 and MS Teams

Well a little ole Finesse/cert issue took up my entire weekend.    Literally
all of it with exception of about 10 hours.   So now switching what is left
of my brain to looking at our SX 20 outbound calling with emphasis on
connecting to external video endpoints.   When we did have it functioning
and quite well it to make an outbound call we would append @vcs.rdc to the
'dial string' and we could connect.  Now after a couple of Call Manager,
IM&Presence and Expressway upgrades that no longer is working.   I am slowly
working through the setup docs but if any of you have any thoughts or ideas
I would appreciate it.  

 

Our setup..

 

WebEx 4.x on prem setup

Expressway Core and Edge X 12.5.7

CUCM 12.5 SU2 (that was the entire weekend of fun and frivolity.  L

IM and Presence 12.5 SU 2

SX  20

DX 80 (waiting for license)

Thank you Mark.. appreciate you stepping in.   I believe we have the
capacity for the amount it will be used.   If you are around on Monday would
you be willing to have a quick WebEx and we can see what I might be missing
on the configuration.   When I try and call out it keep getting call cannot
be complete unless I am strictly calling a phone/mobile or similar.   

Battling a Finesse/Certificate issue today so not sure how long that is
going to take and need some off time tomorrow.  J

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.

*** EXTERNAL EMAIL - DO NOT CLICK LINKS *** 

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
