Cisco VCS and Lync2013 integration

Hello!

Could you please tell me, when CISCO starts officially support Lync2013 - release a new software for VCS-C and documentation on integration?

The primary interest is in the possibility of transferring video between CISCO endpoints/MCUs and Lync on the H.264 protocol, that is native to Lync2013.

At this time, I have VCS-C X7.2 and Lync2013 RTM. On the video call without AMGW, call establishes like audio-only.

When using with Lync2010, this worked on H.263 protocol and CIF resolution.

Is the Microsoft Interoperability option key required for Lync 2013 to VCS communication?

Yes, see page 244 of the admin guide;

I tried X8.1 - calls from Lync2013 on iPad to Cisco endpoints works fine, but calls from Lync2013 on android devices or iPhone (5) - fails =(

Does anyone know the product number for the Microsoft Interoperability option key to be ordered.  I can not find it online.

Douglas -

In the VCS 8.1 release notes it states the Microsoft Interoperability option key is formerly known as the Enhanced Microsoft Collaboration option key.  So unless they plan on changing part numbers, they might use the old OCS option key.

Cisco-VCS-Release-Note-X8-1.pdf, bottom of page 1.

Correct, it is same PID (Option key index is 116341C00) and will display as “Microsoft Interoperability” if VCS run with X8.1 software version.

So for those already have “Enhanced OCS Collaboration” option key installed, VCS will automatically update option key as “Microsoft Interoperability” once software is upgraded.
