New aspects of CiscoUC Interoperability #CiscoPlus

What is integration?•  Is my home phone integrated with your home phone?•  Is my corporate email system federated with yours?•  Does integration imply connecting two of the same type of system or different systems?•  The objective: Let me collaborate with Anyone Anywhere #CiscoPlusCA

Session Management #CiscoPlusCA

What is a Session Management Edition cluster ? CUBE CUBE CUBE H323 Trunk MGCP Trunk SIP TrunkA CUCM cluster and SME cluster use exactly the same softwareA CUCM cluster is typically used to register 10,000s of PhonesAn SME cluster is typically used as a platform for Trunk and Dial Plan aggregationBoth CUCM and SME support Voice, Video and Encrypted callsSupport for SME deployments was introduced with UC version 7.1(2)UC version 8.5 introduces a number of features that enhance SME functionality :Improved SIP Trunk and H323 Inter Cluster Trunk functionalityImproved through-cluster routingSIP Normalization and Transparency scripts #CiscoPlusCA

Why deploy Session Management Edition ?An SME cluster at the core of your network allows you to flexibly manage your UC system as it grows and changes…….

Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft What is the Cisco Integration for Microsoft•  The UC Integration provides a Cisco UC client with controls exposed with the Microsoft client interface•  Provides phone presence to OCS/Lync•  Supports Microsoft Office Communicator R2 and Microsoft Lync 2010•  Runs on Microsoft Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista 32/64bit and Windows 7 32/64bit•  Provides soft phone audio and video and desk phone control using UC manager call control•  Visual voicemail with Cisco Unity or Unity Connection•  Desktop collaboration using Cisco MeetingPlace and Webex•  Calling from Microsoft Office, Internet explorer and other applications #CiscoPlusCA

Cisco UC Integration™ for Microsoft Lync Microsoft Client Microsoft Office Communicator Microsoft Lync (shown) User Experience Simply drag or right click a contact to start a voice, video or collaboration session Conversation Voice, Video and Conference calling and in Call Controls Cisco Communication Panel Voicemail, Communications History, Soft phone / Desk phone control Options & Dial #CiscoPlusCA pad

Cisco UC Integration™ for Microsoft LyncHigh Definition Video for Rich Interactions •  Video calls – both in Softphone and Desk Phone mode •  Point to Point & Multipoint calls •  High quality, standards-based H.264 video •  CIF, VGA and HD resolutions supported •  Interoperable with Cisco and 3rd party video solutions •  Leverages CUCM CAC to manage video traffic on the WAN #CiscoPlusCA

Cisco UC Integration™ for Microsoft LyncPhone Presence•  Availability in Lync is updated to reflect Softphone/Hardphone state•  Shows your current Softphone/Hardphone state to your contacts•  Users showed “On the phone” also for calls to Video Bridge, VC stations or any other video system (Cisco or Third Party) #CiscoPlusCA

Microsoft & Cisco InteroperabilityUse cases and Scenarios – SIP-Trunk / Direct-SIP AudioOCS 2007 / Lync 2010 (no media bypass) Front-End Mediation CUCM Lync Clients Pool Server Pool RTaudio G.711OCS 2007 / Lync 2010 (no media bypass), none G.711 on IP-PBX Front-End Mediation CUCM Pool Server Pool Transcoder Lync Clients RTaudio G.711 G.729/iLBC•  The two call flows above show the signaling and media paths in a SIP-trunk interoperability scenario.•  Lync Mediation Server ONLY supports G.711, requires additional transcoding resource if any other codec is used in such an scenario.With CUCM 8.x and above a MTP is not required in this configuration. #CiscoPlusCA

Microsoft & Cisco InteroperabilityUse cases and Scenarios – SIP-Trunk / Direct-SIP AudioLync 2010 (with media bypass) Front-End Mediation CUCM Lync Clients Pool Server Pool G.711 G.711 MTP•  With the introduction of Media Bypass in Lync 2010 the Lync client can initiate direct G.711 not requiring media to be transcoded in the Mediation Server.•  Signaling still has to flow via the Mediation Server.•  Media Bypass mandatorily requires all media to come from a single IP address. Which is the reason why a MTP has to be inserted into this scenario. #CiscoPlusCA

Video Integration with MS #CiscoPlusCA

Microsoft Lync 2010 - video capabilities summary   Point to Point video call: o  Still uses the RTVideo codec as default - CIF, VGA and HD (with Quad Core CPU) as possible resolutions o  Single codec supported for interoperability with standard VC is H263 (max resolution is CIF@15fps)   Multi-Point video call using Internal A/V MCU: o  Support RTVideo codec only o  Support CIF and VGA as resolutions (No HD) o  Support Voice Activated Switching only (no Continuous Presence) o  Utilize Microsoft CCCP as protocol to create, extend and manage the Multi-party Video Conference   Content Sharing: o  Use Microsoft specific solution both for Point to Point and Multi-Point calls (no BFCP support) #CiscoPlusCA

VCS and B2BUA ServiceIntroductionVCS X7.0 introduces the concept of Back to Back User Agent (B2BUA):   Service running on “Lync-OCS Gateway” VCS   Keep standard based and OCS / Lync signalling separate   Recommended scenario (Old way still supported in X7.x, not in X8.x)   Simplified configuration (one menu with all the options listed together)   Publishing VCS Presence into OCS/Lync is supported and strongly recommended to have a full User Experience   Allows interoperability with OCS/Lync Clients connected from Internet through Microsoft Edge Server   AMG is supported and improved in terms of features support (Call Transfer, Hold and Multi-way)   End to End encryption for Media and Signaling #CiscoPlusCA

Cisco Jabber #CiscoPlusCA

Introducing Cisco Jabber for WindowsCisco Jabber is our new UC and Collaboration client:  User Interface and experience built to be highly intuitive.  Full Office integration  Standards based Interoperability  Based on the second generation CSF, optimized in terms of memory and resource utilization  Range of extensibility points and application integrations  Also available for Mac #CiscoPlusCA

Voice & Video Call ControlJabber for Windows provides two call control options   Enterprise Call control (ECC) o  ECC allows a customer to integrate Jabber for Windows with Unified Communications Manager. o  ECC provides control of a Cisco desktop phone as well as soft phone operation. o  URI dialling planned with CUCM 9.0   Cloud Call Control [subject to change] o  Only available in cloud deployment o  Provides computer to computer calling between two users of the Webex cloud #CiscoPlusCA

Voice & Video Call Control Desk phone Soft phone Control Operation•  Users can select mode of operation using the system tray icon.•  Drop down list will provide a list of hardware/software associated to user.•  Users can be configured to use just desk phone, just soft phone or both. #CiscoPlusCA

The Cisco Precision Video Engine•  Precision Video Engine is a H.264 AVC software library designed to handle voice and video related tasks•  This library is based on the Video Engine used in the Cisco “Movi” product (*)•  Provides full HD interoperability between Jabber desktop clients and any standard based VC systems•  PVE also provides audio codecs G.711a/u, G.722, G.729a, iLBC (and subject to change AAC-LD, G.722.1)•  PVE supports frame size QCIF to 720p based on attached camera. Note: HD 720p will be possible using DUAL CORE CPU! (*) Note – “Movi” has been recently renamed Cisco Jabber Video for TelePresence #CiscoPlusCA

Desktop Sharing •  Video Desktop Share is based on the BFCP standard. •  Video Desktop Share allow you to share your desktop not only with other Jabber clients but also Telepresence Systems and Rooms...how many customer are waiting for this? •  CUCM 8.6.x needed for BFCP support •  Point to Point and Multipoint (MCU based) scenario are possible Other Jabber Clients Personal Telepresence Systems Telepresence Rooms #CiscoPlusCA

Solution Summary•  Suggested approach for customer, advantages with Cisco standards based IPT/Video (LCS/OCS can be easily migrated to Jabber)  Full Office integration•  Designed with the goal to optimize resource utilization (CSF2G)•  Supports standard based audio and video codecs•  High Definition 720p (with a Dual Core CPU), also for calls to Video Conference systems•  BFCP Desktop Sharing with any standard Video Device #CiscoPlusCA
