How Policy affects client-to-client telephony

In client-to-client telephony, a user who is not permitted, through Policy assignment, to make a client-to-client call, is also unable to receive a call from a user who is Policy-enabled to place a call. When a Policy-enabled user (User 1) initiates a call to a non-Policy enabled user (User 2), the Call icon is disabled when User 2 is selected. In addition, when User 1 selects a group of which User 2 is a member, User 2 can be listed in the ‘Start a call’ window, but User 2 cannot receive the invitation. This is the result of strict enforcement of Policies in 7.5.1.

In a related scenario, a user who logs in from a pre-7.5 client such as Sametime 6.5.1, a Notes client, or a Meeting Room Client, cannot respond to a call initiated by a user who is logged in to a 7.5.x client.

Possible Linux sound issues with OSS

Running in a hybrid environment with pre -7.5 clients

The Sametime Connect 7.5.x client can run in an environment with a mixture of new and old Sametime clients. Note that you will not be able to send rich text to pre-7.5 clients, and that the rich text tools will be disabled in such a client. Also note that when switching to "In a Meeting" status, you will be seen by older clients as "Online" with no status icon.
