Thanks for the great article. I am heading up a project to make Lync the center of our Tandberg video conferencing deployment that we have with a centralized Codian MCU. Information on this sort of integration is sparse and I hope more becomes available very soon or I'll have to write it myself :) Looking into an open source solution called Yate (Yet Another Telephony Engine) to be a SIP-H.323 proxy between my Tandberg endpoints and a Lync deployment. Crossing my fingers..

vidkidrus and ward,

I believe presence should work with Tandberg devices as well however I have not actually tested it.

Older Polycom equipment will work with Lync Server however it may require some additional Polycom infrastructure such as an RMX appliance, etc.

Apparently this is an old video when Lync was in Beta. Cisco is not supporting this until around July from what I have heard. The codes have changed on Lync and it does not work now. (shocker). My question is where is the CAC support between Cisco and MSFT solutions.

What do you know about older Polycom equipment, like FX and VSX lines, with Lync? Any chance they might also work with Lync?

Hi Mark,

Great info and screenshots, thanks! Do you know if presence and connection to federated devices is available for a Cisco/Tandberg situation or is that exclusive to the Polycom product?
