You also need to create a Lync user client account to set up the Acano Lync Server Edge
configuration.
Follow these steps to set up the Acano solution to use the Lync Edge server:
1. Ensure that you have the appropriate DNS records in place; see the appendix on DNS
records for the full requirements.
2. Create a new user in your LDAP directory, just as you would any other user in your directory,
i.e. firstname=”acano”, second name = “edge”.
3. Login into the user manager on your Lync Server and create a Lync Client user from the
user you created in the previous step. Do thus in the same way as you would any other user
to enable them to use Lync. Using the example name above create a Lync client user called
[e-mail]
4. Sign in to the Web Admin Interface, and go to Configuration > General. Configure the Lync
Edge Settings by entering the Lync FE Server Address (or a host name that resolves to this).
For Username enter the Lync client user name created in the previous step.
5. Complete the Number of Registrations field, if necessary.
This field overcomes a feature of the Lync Edge server that limits the number of
simultaneous calls that it will run for one registered device. By entering a number greater
than 1, the Call Bridge will make that number of registrations, thereby increasing the number
of simultaneous calls that the Acano solution can make out through the Lync Edge Server.
Entering a number greater than 1 adds a number to the end of your Lync Edge username
and registers with the resulting username. For example, if you configured Username as
[e-mail] and set Number of Registrations to 3, you will need to create the
following users in your Lync environment so that they can be used with the Edge server;
[e-mail]
[e-mail]
[e-mail]
We recognize that this requires some administrative overhead; however it is due to a
limitation of the Lync Edge server as explained above.
Leave the Number of Registrations blank to only make a single registration as
[e-mail].
Note: The Acano solution supports Lync content (presentations contributed over RDP) from
external Lync clients whose media arrives via the Lync Edge server. In addition, coSpace
(URIs) now report back as busy or available based on how many participants are currently in
the coSpace so that Lync clients that have Acano coSpaces in their favorites can see the
coSpace status.
Note: Acano clients continue to use the Acano TURN Server even if a Lync Edge server is
configured.
Note: If you have a Lync Edge server configured, all Lync calls will use that server for ICE
candidate gathering and external media connectivity. If you do not have a Lync Edge server
configured, Lync calls handled by the Acano solution will use any configured TURN server.
