Perform Tasks Involving Microsoft Office
Communications Server or Lync Contacts
Depending on how your system is configured, you might be able to search a directory, view a list of Microsoft
Office Communications Server (OCS) or Microsoft Lync contacts, see if the contacts are online, and call
them without knowing or remembering their addresses. RealPresence series supports Microsoft OCS 2007
R2 and Microsoft Lync Server 2010 and 2013.
Office Communicator and Microsoft Lync contacts appear on the RealPresence Group system and on the
Contacts screen.
Note: Office Communicator and Distribution List Groups
Polycom RealPresence Group systems do not support Office Communicator or
Microsoft Lync distribution list groups, which are created on the Microsoft Exchange
Server and are typically used for sending email to a group of people.
Multipoint Calls Using Centralized Conferencing Control Protocol
(CCCP)
If a Polycom RealPresence Group system is deployed in a Microsoft Lync Server 2010 or 2013 environment
and Centralized Conferencing Control Protocol (CCCP) is enabled, you can place and participate in
multipoint calls that are hosted by Microsoft audio and video servers. If you are used to being in conferences
hosted by a Lync server, you might notice that the Polycom RealPresence system interface closely
resembles the interface you see in Microsoft environments.
For more information about CCCP multipoint calling, refer to the Polycom Unified Communications
Deployment Guide for Microsoft Environments or contact your system administrator.
To manually create a multipoint call with CCCP:
1 From the Call screen on the Polycom Touch Control, touch Conference.
2 Create a list of participants you want in the call. You can add participants using any combination of
the following methods.
