This section will illustrate how to setup the Live Commu- nication Server (LCS) to work properly with the MPS.

SIP (Session Initiated Protocol)

Software version J3 and above for the TANDBERG MPS has support for the Session Initiated Protocol (SIP).

The first version of support will be compatible with the Microsoft Live Communications Server (LCS) 2005, SP1.

LCS will serve as both an authentication authority and a SIP Proxy to the MPS for both incoming and outgoing SIP calls.

Configuring LCS and MPS

1.The Microsoft Live Communication Server (LCS) should be configured prior to configuring the MPS unit.

2.In order to facilitate proper communication between the MPS and LCS, the LCS must be configured to see the MPS as a trusted site as well as setup the dial- plan to forward appropriate calls to the MPS.

Configuring LCS

In order for the MPS to receive calls on the SIP network, the LCS is configured to allow the MPS to receive mul- tiple calls on multiple Dial In numbers.

LCS dialling works on a prefix basis:

•A specific prefix is assigned to forward all calls to a specific host. This prefix can be anything and is usu- ally followed by a wildcard identifier *.
