Telephone event interworking
The VCS now supports the interworking of DTMF events between SIP and H.323. This allows SIP
devices to dial into PIN protected conferences and to select conferences using the DTMF menu.
There are the following limitations:
4 Audio packets are dropped each time DTMF is interworked from H323 to SIP. This means that
n
DTMF will only work if there are audio packets flowing from H323 to SIP.
The duration of events is not interworked, only fixed constants are supported.

Encrypted calls to and from Microsoft OCS Server 2007 for both native SIP calls and calls interworked

The VCS now supports forwarding of unsolicited NOTIFY messages to registered endpoints. This
allows message waiting indication from CUCM to be forwarded to E20s thus allowing the indicator
