Configure System-wide Presence and Contact Creation Settings

Once External SIP peer configuration is complete, you can configure system-wide presence publishing and contact creation settings for VMRs. By default, presence publishing and contact creation are disabled; follow these steps to configure them. Contact creation requires that the RealPresence DMA system be integrated with Active Directory.

VMR and Polycom conference contact synchronization happens automatically. When you enable conference contact creation as part of integration (see Integrate RealPresence DMA and Lync 2013 ), the system compares RealPresence DMA system conference rooms with the corresponding Polycom conference contacts in Active Directory and creates or deletes conference contacts as needed. This happens during startup, service activation, nightly Active Directory synchronization, when you make changes to individual VMRs, and when you click the Update button on the Active Directory Integration page. Enabling the Create Polycom conference contacts check box also ensures that whenever you delete a VMR on the system, any corresponding Polycom conference contact is deleted automatically in Active Directory.

To enable presence publishing for Polycom conference contacts

1Go to Admin > Conference Manager > Conference Settings.

2Enable the Publish presence for Polycom conference contacts check box.

3Choose a Lync pool from the Lync pool to create/publish to list.

4Enter a Contact SIP domain.

The conference contacts will be created in this domain, and the domain will be appended to the Active Directory display name of the conference contact. For example, if the Contact SIP domain is “corporate”, the VMR 1234 will correspond to the conference contact “1234@corporate”. If the domain doesn’t exist, it will be created if the Create Polycom conference contacts check box is enabled.

5(Optional) Enable the Create Polycom conference contacts check box.

This enables the creation of Polycom conference contacts in Active Directory for new and existing VMRs. You don’t need to enable this functionality if you are handling the creation of conference contacts manually, or if the VMRs already have corresponding conference contacts.

If you enable this check box, the VMR display name pattern and OU for contacts fields are available.
