Deployment scenario
A company is introducing a Lync system into their network to provide Microsoft Lync Clients on
everyone’s desk to supply messaging and presence capabilities for all staff. Integrating this with their
existing Video Network, which handles their video conferencing, provides the ability for video
endpoints to make calls to and receive calls from Lync, and for Lync to see the presence of the video
endpoints.

In this scenario, dialing will typically be carried out by users clicking on one of their buddies in Lync, or
selecting a destination from an electronic address book on the video endpoint.

This deployment guide describes how to connect Lync Server and a Cisco VCS Control using a SIP
trunk across an IP network. The example presented uses the following setup:

A new Cisco VCS Control (or cluster of Cisco VCS control peers) – the “Lync Gateway” – to act
as the link between the existing Video Network and Lync Server.
as the link between the existing Video Network and Lync Server.
The Lync Server’s SIP domain is test-customer.com.
Note that the SIP domain for Lync Server need not be the same as the AD domain of Lync users (the
Lync user’s login domain – used in the login user name - may be different from the SIP domain – used
in the sign-in address.)
