Hi Islam.

it is the same like previous post

A VCS ("Lync Gateway")may be required to interoperate with the MS Lync server. Here is the reference guide:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/telepresence/infrastructure/vcs/config_guide/Cisco_VCS_Microsoft_Lync_2010_Deployment_Guide_X7-2.pdf

Moreover:

"The addition of the Cisco AM GW to the “Lync gateway” VCS allows traditional video codecs such as H.261, H.263 and H.264 to be converted to and from the Microsoft RT Video codec. Use of the RT Video codec allows a Lync client to scale its displayed image from CIF resolution, through VGA to 720p.

The Cisco AM GW enhances the video experience by upscaling the video format sent from Lync clients."

Dear Anas

It is not the same of course , because new microsoft LYNC 2013  uses h264 SVC codec  and this causes a problem with Cisco UC. Please advise .

I was speaking with the cisco engineers and pre-sales staff and although the UC works with 2013 the click to call functionality does not and there is no road map to when the next version will be released and if it will fix this issue
