Polycom RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 1500/2000/4000 Administrator’s Guide

Integrating the MCU into the Microsoft Office Communications Server Environment

From Version 7.0.x, Microsoft R1 is not supported with MCU systems.

When the MCU is integrated into the Office Communications Server environment, calls to conferences running on the MCU can be routed using Matched URI dialing and/or Numerical dialing.

Both routing methods (numerical dialing and Matched URI dialing) can be enabled simultaneously in the Office Communications Server and the MCU system or you can enable one of these methods, depending on your environment requirements.

In both methods, the MCU configuration is the same.

Setting the Matched URI Dialing Method

To enable the Matched URI dialing method the following tasks have to be completed:

Office Communications Server side:

1Set the Static Route & Trusted Host for MCU in the Office Communications Server.

2Optional if Load Balancer Server is present. Set the Static Route & Trusted Host for MCU in the Load Balancer server.

MCU side:

The following tasks are detailed in "Configuring the RMX 1500/2000/4000 for Microsoft Integration” on page H-36.

3Modify the Management Network Service to include the DNS server and set the Transport Type to TLS.

4Create the security certificate (using one of the two available methods)

5Define a SIP Network Service in the MCU and install the TLS certificate.

6Modify and add the required system flags in the MCU System Configuration.

7Optional. Defining additional Entry Queues and Meeting Rooms in the MCU environment. For more information see "Defining a New Entry Queue” on page 7-3and "Creating a New Meeting Room” on page 6-4.

For a detailed description of the configuration of the Polycom conferencing components for the integration in Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 see Polycom® HDX and MCU™ Systems Integration with Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 Deployment Guide.

In ICE environment, to enable the Matched URI dialing in the federated environment to be able to connect to the MCU SIP signaling domain, you must also configure the Office Communications Server. When federating an Office Communications Server edge server with another Office Communications Server environment, you need to include the FQDN of the Office Communications Server edge server as well as the SIP signaling domain for federated environment. The SIP signaling domain is the FQDN of the Polycom DMA system or a Polycom MCU system (when your deployment does not include a DMA system).

Note: The RMX does not support working with multiple edge servers.
