Dial via Office-Reverse through MRA
Your mobile workers need the same high quality, security and reliability that they experience when placing calls in the
office. You can assure them of just that when you enable the Dial via Office-Reverse (DVO-R) feature and they are
using Cisco Jabber on a dual-mode mobile device. DVO-R routes Cisco Jabber calls through the enterprise
automatically.
office. You can assure them of just that when you enable the Dial via Office-Reverse (DVO-R) feature and they are
using Cisco Jabber on a dual-mode mobile device. DVO-R routes Cisco Jabber calls through the enterprise
automatically.
DVO-R handles call signaling and voice media separately. All call signaling, including the signaling for Mobile and
Remote Access on Expressway, traverses the IP connection between the client and Cisco Unified Communications
Manager. Voice media traverses the cellular interface and hairpins at the enterprise Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN) gateway.

Moving audio to the cellular interface ensures high-quality calls and securely maintained audio even when the IP

Lync Screen Sharing Through a Gateway Cluster
Transcoding of Lync screen sharing was introduced in X8.6.
X8.7 extends this feature to work on a cluster of Gateway Expressway peers, so that a greater number of screen
sharing sessions can be simultaneously transcoded.
sharing sessions can be simultaneously transcoded.
You must configure the Lync B2BUA and the related transcoding parameters on the primary peer. The number of
transcoding sessions you enter is the per peer number.
transcoding sessions you enter is the per peer number.
The transcoding capacity of the cluster is approximately the number of sessions you choose multiplied by the number
of peers, up to a maximum multiple of 4x.

For example, consider a cluster of four large VMs. If you set Maximum RDP transcode sessions to 20, then the
cluster would provide up to 80 simultaneous screen shares.
