Broker for Microsoft SIP Traffic
In some previous versions of our Cisco VCS and Microsoft Interoperability Deployment Guide, we published an
appendix describing how to get Lync to Jabber messaging working using CPL on a "directory VCS".

In X8.8, we have improved that deployment by creating an independent broker to perform the task of filtering and
redirecting the messaging and presence traffic coming from the Microsoft infrastructure. This change has the
following benefits:

following benefits:
■
Maintains the robustness of the SDP parser, by not requiring it to process the non-standard SIP from Microsoft
infrastructure
infrastructure
■
No requirement for a directory Cisco VCS, because the broker is hosted on the Gateway Cisco VCS.
■
The broker is abstracted from the rest of the software so you can disable it if you don't need it.

If you were using the CPL deployment, you can now upgrade to X8.8 and benefit from the other features and
improvements since X8.6.

Multistream Support
The Cisco VCS now supports passthrough of encrypted and unencrypted multistream calls. It also supports
passthrough of the encrypted iX protocol required for the ActiveControl feature used by endpoints interacting with the
TelePresence Server.
passthrough of the encrypted iX protocol required for the ActiveControl feature used by endpoints interacting with the
TelePresence Server.
There is a new "Multistream mode" on all zone types that can potentially handle media. The mode is enabled by
default, but it only applies when the zone passes media to or from the back to back user agent. The signaling of
multistream calls is always passed through, irrespective of the zone's multistream mode setting.

Note:
■
The Cisco VCS does not encrypt the iX protocol on behalf of other entities; iX must either be encrypted from
end to end, with the endpoints and TelePresence Server doing the encryption, or it must be unencrypted from
end to end.

Service Setup Wizard
The Cisco VCS can be used in different ways, some of which do not work together. Version X8.8 improves the user
experience of configuring the Cisco VCS for its chosen purpose in your environment.

When you first launch the user interface, you see a Service Setup Wizard instead of going straight into the menu. You
can select the system series (VCS or Expressway) and type (VCS Expressway/VCS Control or Expressway-
E/Expressway-C). These choices affect the list of services available.

Cisco Spark Hybrid Services
■
Mobile and Remote Access
■
Jabber Guest Services
■
Microsoft Interoperability
■
Registrar/ Proxy registrations (previously only possible on VCS, now also possible on Expressway)
■
Collaboration Meeting Rooms (CMR) Cloud
■
Business to Business Calling
When you have selected from the list, the wizard helps you to apply appropriate licenses for your selection, verify
your basic configuration (network settings should have been configured previously), and then restart the system.
