Summary of configuration process
This document describes how to configure both the Lync Server and the Cisco VCS Control (version
X6.1) so that calls can be made from:

VCS to register FindMe™ users as though they are Lync clients, so that:
“In-call” as well as “Available” and “Off-line” can be seen for these FindMe™ users.
Lync Server will fork calls to FindMe™ users at the same time as Lync users with the same name,
so that calls can be taken on Lync or a video endpoint, as desired.
