Appendix G
Setting the Collaboration Server for
Integration Into Microsoft
Environment
Overview
• The Polycom® Visual Communications offers high quality video and audio multipoint
conferencing by integrating the Polycom network devices and endpoints into
Microsoft® platforms. The Polycom® RealPresence® Collaboration Server
(Collaboration Server) system can be integrated into Lync Server 2010 environment
(Microsoft Wave 14).
Point-to-point and multipoint audio and video meetings can be initiated from Lync client,
Windows Messenger and Polycom video endpoints (HDX and VSX) when the environment
components are installed and configured.
• Multipoint calls are enabled when the Collaboration Server is installed in the Microsoft
environment and is configured for unified communications. Routing to conferences can
be performed by the Lync Server by Matched URI dialing - using the SIP URI address.
TLS certificates can be generated using the following methods: CSR, PFX and PEM; each
giving different options for Encryption Key length. Table G-1 lists the SIP TLS Encryption Key
length support for the various system components.
Integration into Microsoft environment (using Lync endpoints) is supported in AVC CP Conferencing
Mode only.
Only TLS connections to the Collaboration Server will work, TCP connections will not work.
The Collaboration Server does not support working with multiple Edge servers.
