Microsoft Lync B2BUA
The Microsoft Lync back-to-back user agent (Lync B2BUA) on the VCS is used to route SIP calls between
the VCS and a Microsoft Lync Server.

It provides interworking between Microsoft ICE (used by Lync clients) and media for communications with
standard video endpoints. It also provides call hold, call transfer and Multiway support for calls with Lync
clients, and can share FindMe presence information with Lync.

Microsoft Lync 2010
The Microsoft Interoperability option key must be installed to enable encrypted calls to and from Microsoft
Lync 2010 Server (for both native SIP calls and calls interworked from H.323). It is also required by the
B2BUA when establishing ICE calls to Lync 2010 clients.

The B2BUA can use the Cisco AM GW to transcode between standard codecs (such as H.264) and
Microsoft RT Video and RT Audio to allow high definition calls between Microsoft Lync 2010 clients and
Cisco endpoints.

Microsoft Lync 2013
The B2BUA provides interworking between standard H.264 AVC and Lync 2013's H.264UC SVC codec.
You can still configure the B2BUA to use Cisco AM GW transcoders with Lync 2013, but it is not necessary
and we recommend that they are not deployed with Lync 2013.

Lync 2013 no longer supports H.263, so X8.1 or later software is required to interoperate successfully with
Lync 2013. X7.2 or earlier software will work with Lync 2013 only if calls are routed through a Cisco AM GW
transcoder.

The Lync B2BUA has a maximum simultaneous call capability of 100 calls (for all system sizes, including
Large systems); however, calls that use transcoder resources count as 2 calls.
