Figure 23: Live Business Gateway Integration
Microsoft Lync
Customers who choose Microsoft Lync as their preferred Unified Communications solution,
often require integration to their existing IP - PBX, or if choosing a new IP - PBX, need to ensure
that telephony integration with Lync is possible. Most businesses that deploy Lync use it for
instant messaging, PC presence and collaboration, and a feature rich IP-PBX, such as MCD
for telephony.
Customers who have deployed Live Communications Server 2005, Office Communications
Server 2007 or Office Communications Server 2007 R2, are being encouraged by Microsoft to
upgrade to Lync.
MCD release 4.2 SP1 and greater is Microsoft Lync Direct SIP certified. Mitel has successfully
completed testing of Live Business Gateway release 3.2 with MCD 4.2 and Microsoft Lync.
LBG 3.2 and Direct SIP are now fully supported by Mitel when used with Office Communications
Server 2007 R2 or Lync.
Mitel offers a wide range of solutions, that in conjunction with MCD, provide telephony and
presence integration enhancements to Lync and Office Communications Server 2007 R2.
Current telephony integration solutions include
• Mitel Live Business Gateway release 3.2
• Direct SIP
• Mitel 5550 IP Console presence integration for OCS 2007 R2
• UCA presence integration / federation
• Mitel Speech Auto-Attendant presence integration for OCS 2007 R2
