Connecting an MCU Meeting Room to a Microsoft AV-MCU Conference

Microsoft Lync users can connect an MCU Meeting Room to a conference running on the Microsoft A/V MCU. This allows MCU Lync users to connect with a conference in progress on the A/V MCU and be an active participant in the conference. The connection to the A/V MCU is the same configuration as a cascading conference between multiple MCU MCUs.

To connect to an A/V MCU conference:

1From the Menu bar, click Meet Now to create an ad-hoc conference. The Group Conversation dialog box is displayed.

2From the Contacts List on Lync, drag a Virtual Meeting Room (VMR) into the Group Conversation list.

After the Virtual Meeting Room is connected on Lync, an invitation is sent from the A/V MCU to the MCU using the Centralized Conference Control Protocol (CCCP). The MCU responds and triggers a standard SIP invite sent from the A/V MCU to the MCU.

Multiple participants can now connect to both the MCU Meeting Room and the A/V MCU, and participate in a cascaded conference.

When a conference begins with Audio Only, a Lync user cannot add video to the conference after the VMR is connected to the conference. The conference will remain as Audio Only.
