Introduction

This document describes the configuration of AudioCodes Enhanced Media Gateway and its
Survivable Branch Appliance (SBA) application hosted on AudioCodes Media Gateway, for
integration with Microsoft® Lync™ Server 2010 (Lync Server 2010). The AudioCodes gateways
that support this application include the Mediant 1000, Mediant 1000 MSBG, and Mediant 2000.
One of the components in the Lync Server 2010 network is the Microsoft Communication Server
2010 Mediation Server (Mediation Server). The Mediation Server can be deployed either on a
standalone physical server or co-located with the Front End server pool. The latter is a new
enhancement in Lync Server 2010. The Mediation Server is the Lync Server 2010 edge entity
responsible for interfacing the Lync Server 2010 network with an Enhanced Media Gateway that
provides legacy connections to the PSTN.
This solution is comprised of three main areas:
Enhanced Media Gateway: The Enhanced Media Gateway is co-located at the enterprise's
headquarters with Mediation Server and Lync Server 2010. The Enhanced Media Gateway
interfaces between Mediation Server, analog devices and the PBX/PSTN.
