MS Live Communications Server

Configuring LCS and MPS for SIP (3:6)

TANDBERG MPS ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE

Configuring Microsoft Office Live Communications Server (LCS) 2005, SP1

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

Add a Route

When the MPS is configured as an Authorized Host to the LCS, the LCS needs to be told what SIP URIs should be forwarded to the MPS. This is done by configuring a route in the Live Communocation Server.

The SIP URI to reach the MPS will be the combination of the User and Domain fields.

Under the same server properties window (see previ- ous page), select the Routing tab and press Add… to open the Add Static Route dialog and add a new routing pattern:

1.The User field is used to specify which URIs will be forwarded by this rule. Wildcards (*) are allowed.

2.In the Domain box, enter the domain that will be used with the SIP URI for the MPS. The SIP URI to reach the MPS will be the combination of the user and domain fields. Example: <MPS@company.com>

3.Under Next Hop, select IP Address and enter the IP address of the System Controller Board of the MPS.

4.Set Transport to TCP

5.Set Port to 5060.

Example #1:

If you want all calls coming in to <MPS> to be forwarded to the MPS, enter <MPS> in the User field.

6.Press the OK button to save the route

7.Press the OK button to close the properties window of the server.

This completes the configuration of the LCS server. Next, the MPS will need to be configured to use the LCS server.

LCS does allow a wildcard entry. Enter the <*> character if a wildcard entry is desired. For example, if all calls beginning with <MPS> should be forwarded to the MPS itself (e.g. <MPS123@lcs.int>, <MPS456@lcs.int>, <MPSConference2@lcs.int>), then enter <MPS*> in the user field.

In the Domain box, enter the domain that will be used with the SIP URI for the MPS. The complete SIP URI to reach the MPS will be the combination of the user and domain fields. Example: <MPS@company.com>

Under Next Hop, select IP Address and enter the IP address of the controller card of the MPS. Make sure Transport is set to TCP and Port is 5060. The completed route should look like the figure to the left. Press OK to save the route, and press OK again to close the Properties window of the server.
