In some Lync configurations, especially where Lync PSTN gateways are used, calls are only allowed if the
calling party is authorized. Thus, the calling party’s domain must be the Lync Server domain. This means that
the endpoints must register to the video network with a domain that is the same as the Lync domain.

Lync clients try to register with Expressway-E
SIP video endpoints usually use DNS SRV records in the following order to route calls to Expressway:
n
_sips._tcp.<domain>
n
_sip._tcp.<domain> and
n
_sip._udp.<domain>
Lync clients use:
n
_sipinternaltls._tcp.<domain> - for internal TLS connections
n
_sipinternal._tcp. <domain> - for internal TCP connections (only if TCP is allowed)
n
_sip._tls. <domain> - for external TLS connections
Lync clients only support TLS connection to the Edge Server. The _sip._tcp.<domain> DNS SRV record
should be used for the Expressway-E.
