Deployment scenario
A company is introducing an OCS system into their network to provide Microsoft Office Communicator
(MOC) 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 MOC clients, and for MOC clients 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 MOC, or
selecting a destination from an electronic address book on the video endpoint.

This deployment guide describes how to connect OCS and a Cisco VCS Control using a SIP trunk
across an IP network. The example presented uses the following setup:
across an IP network. The example presented uses the following setup:
A new Cisco VCS Control (or cluster of Cisco VCS control peers) – the “OCS gateway” – to act as
the link between the existing Video Network and OCS.
the link between the existing Video Network and OCS.
The OCS’s SIP domain is test-customer.com.
Note: the SIP domain for OCS need not be the same as the AD domain of MOC users (the MOC
user’s login domain – used in the login user name - may be different from the SIP domain – used in
the sign-in address.)
