20 Lync Enhanced Presence Many presence engines have only a few presence states, such as Available or Away The presence engine Microsoft has developed behind Lync Server is referred to as Enhanced Presence Is a combination of a numerous presence states, access levels, interruption management, automated updates, application integration, location information, and multiple points of presence (MPOP) 20

21 Enhanced Presence Schemas Microsoft Lync Server Unified Communications Enhanced Presence Schemas for Microsoft Lync Server 2010 The underlying presence infrastructure of Microsoft Lync Server 2010 and XML-based enhanced presence data model General practices to program with the enhanced presence features 21

22 Lync Enhanced Privacy Controls In Lync, you control what information your contacts can see about you by setting their relationship to you. The table indicates what contacts at each level can see Lync users are able to restrict their presence to users who are in their contact list By default, this feature is not enabled OCS 2007 R2 users can connect to Lync Server 2010 Communicator 2007 R2 does not provide the capability to set these enhanced privacy controls 22

23 Lync Mobility Lync mobile clients allow you to communicate with your work identity so you can stay in touch with your contacts without being tied to your desk Not all the options are available on all the platforms so, first of all, a link to the comparison matrix from Microsoft (comparison matrix for Lync clients features) 23

25 Lync Server 2013 Clients Lync 2013 Preview (is the full-featured client for Lync Server) Online Meeting Add-in for Lync 2013 Preview Lync Web Scheduler (is a web-based meeting scheduling and management tool) Lync Web App (computer audio and video) 25

26 Lync Server - Web Conferencing Lync Server manages virtual meetings referred to as web conferences Web conferencing experience is conducted through the same Lync client New capabilities include : Desktop Sharing Application Sharing Polls Whiteboard 26

27 Lync - Web Conferencing (client) Web conferencing attendees have a number of different client options for joining meetings; these offer varying degrees of functionality : Lync The full client can be used to join a conference or act as a presenter This is the most complete end-user experience and has no restrictions Lync Attendee This application is a subset of the Lync application and offers full web and A/V conferencing capabilities, but can be used only for joining a meeting Lync Web App This web application is a third option for joining web conferences.

31 Survivable Branch Appliance e Server The Survivable Branch Appliance (SBA) is a server appliance with an embedded PSTN gateway running Windows 2008 R2 and Lync Server 2010 It is designed for branch sites that host between 25 and 1,000 users The SBA can provide basic phone services to users at the branch site when the wide area network (WAN) link to the Lync Server 2010 central site is down The Survivable Branch Server is a Windows server that has Lync Server 2010 Registrar and Mediation server software installed It is designed for branch sites that host between 1,000 and 5,000 users who lack a resilient WAN connection and have trained Lync Server 2010 administrators available It must be configured to connect to either an IP/PSTN gateway or a SIP trunk to a telephone service provider 31

32 Lync - Dial-In Conferencing Lync Server can be used as a bridge It s possible to manage an audio conference using Lync users and public switched telephone network (PSTN) users Lync can give a list of local phone numbers to lower costs for external users located in different regions 32

33 Lync - Dial-In Conferencing A numeric conference ID. The ID identifies the conference. Conferences must be enabled for dialin access in meeting policy. By default, conferences that are enabled for dial-in access include the following information in the conference invitation: One or more PSTN access numbers.

39 Lync - Enterprise Voice Features Call Admission Control (CAC) Lync Server introduces a way to determine whether new calls can be established depending on available network bandwidth Media bypass Enables media from a Lync Server client to bypass the Mediation Server in order to be processed directly by an IP-PBX, SIP trunking provider s Session Border Controller (SBC), or PSTN gateway

40 Lync - Enterprise Voice Features Call Park Call Park allows an Enterprise Voice user to put a call on hold from one telephone and then retrieve the call later by dialing an internal number (known as a Call Park orbit) from any telephone Enhanced 911 In Lync 2010 Microsoft incorporated a location mechanism to provide location awareness for Llync clients and Lync client phones SIP trunking 40

45 Lync - SIP trunking Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is used to initiate and manage voice over IP (VoIP) communications sessions SIP trunks are virtual connections that can be established over any of the supported SIP trunking connection types Direct SIP connections, on the other hand, are SIP connections that do not cross the local network boundary (that is, they connect to a PSTN gateway or PBX within your internal network) 45

46 Lync - SIP Trunking And Cisco UCM 46

47 Lync - External User Access External User Access Lync clients can transparently connect to over the public Internet You need Edge Server And Reverse proxy is really a must 47
