presence and conference interaction between MCUs managed by the RealPresence DMA system and the 
Lync AVMCU. Presence allows Lync 2013 clients to view the presence of a RealPresence DMA system 
VMR, similar to any other contact in the Lync 2013 client contact list. 

Callers can also connect to a conference containing a mixture of Lync clients and other endpoints.

The RealPresence DMA system can interact with both Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 environments. However, 
there are several important differences between interacting with a Lync 2010 environment and full 
integration with a Lync 2013 environment. When Lync 2010 clients call in to the RealPresence DMA system, 
they connect to a conference as any other SIP endpoint would and are hosted on an MCU managed by the 
RealPresence DMA system. When the RealPresence DMA system is integrated with Lync 2013, Lync 
clients that connect to RealPresence DMA system VMRs may be hosted on the Lync AVMCU, and can be 
part of RealPresence DMA system conferences via a cascade link that the Polycom MCU creates with the 
AVMCU.

Integration also allows a non-Lync client to connect to a Lync 2013 scheduled conference by dialing the Lync 
conference ID included in the Microsoft Outlook meeting invitation. The RealPresence DMA system 
receives the connection attempt, creates a matching VMR automatically, and builds a cascade link between 
a Polycom MCU and the Lync AVMCU.

If the RealPresence DMA system loses connection with the Lync server, it retries in five minute intervals to 
reconnect, alerting the administrator of the outage.

The Polycom RealConnect

™

 scheduled conference scenario is a single workflow for scheduling 

conferences for Lync and non-Lync endpoints. Once you integrate your system with Lync 2013 environment, 
registered endpoints can call through the RealPresence DMA system and join conferences that you 
schedule with Microsoft Outlook. The Polycom Conferencing for Outlook (PCO) plugin is not needed for 
Polycom RealConnect

Note: VMRs and Polycom conference contacts
Throughout this guide, the term “Polycom conference contact” is used to refer to an Active Directory 
contact that corresponds with a VMR on the RealPresence DMA system and allows Lync presence 
status to be published for that VMR. You can configure the RealPresence DMA system to create and 
delete Polycom conference contacts automatically.
