Cisco Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server Expressway
■
Gatekeeper IP address = IP address or FQDN of VCS Control (cluster)
For SIP, configure the endpoints as follows:
■
SIP Address (URI) (for example, alice.parkes.office@video.example.com)
■
Server Address (Proxy address) = IP address or FQDN of VCS Control (cluster)
Confirm Registrations
Registration status can be confirmed on the Registrations page (Status > Registrations).
By default the VCS Control accepts all registrations to SIP domains configured in the VCS Control. You can limit
registrations by explicitly allowing or denying individual registrations (see VCS Administrator Guide for further details).
registrations by explicitly allowing or denying individual registrations (see VCS Administrator Guide for further details).
Calls can now be made between endpoints registered on VCS Control.
Test Calls
To test the configuration:
1.
Make some test calls between the endpoints.
2.
Clear the calls.
3.
Check the Call history page on the VCS Control (Status > Calls > History).
Verify Calls Between Lync Clients
This is a prerequisite to integrating VCS with your Microsoft Lync environment. The simplified procedures are listed
here but you should refer to the Microsoft documentation for your products.

Enable Users for Lync
By default, Active Directory users are not Lync enabled. Check that users required to support Lync are enabled to do
so, and if not enable them. This can be done both by Lync Server Control Panel or through Windows PowerShell
commands.
so, and if not enable them. This can be done both by Lync Server Control Panel or through Windows PowerShell
commands.
To enable AD users for Lync using the Lync Server Control Panel:
1.
Open the Lync Server Control Panel and find the Users section.
2.
Find the control to enable users, which allows you to search for and add existing AD users.
3.
Assign the selected users to the appropriate Lync Server pool.
4.
Select which AD user properties are used to generate the users' SIP URIs.
To enable AD users for Lync, using PowerShell:
Use the command
enable-csuser
. For example:
enable-csuser -identity "example\alice.parkes" -registrarpool "fepool.example.com" -sipaddress
sip:alice.parkes@example.com
sip:alice.parkes@example.com
Register Lync Clients to Lync Server
1.
Install and run the Lync client.
2.
Enter the SIP URI as the sign-in address.
3.
Point the client to the FQDN of the correct Lync FE pool.
4.
Save the configuration and verify log in.
