Microsoft Lync users can connect an Collaboration Server Meeting Room to a conference running on the
Microsoft A/V MCU. This allows Collaboration Server 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 Collaboration Server MCUs.
