Introduction

Aastra MX-ONE and Aastra 700 communications systems running Telephony Server software V.4.1 SP3 or later can be integrated with Microsoft Lync Server 2010 via Direct SIP integration. As Aastra MX-ONE and Aastra 700 run the same software, in the next chapters only Aastra MX-ONE is referred to. However, if there are differences between them it will be mentioned in this guide. Aastra MX-ONE is a complete IP-based communications system with unparalleled capabilities for mobile users. Not only does Aastra MX-ONE provide excellent voice communications, it also provides the applications necessary to offer true mobility and Unified Communications (UC). Aastra MX-ONE communications system is based on an open software and hardware environment, using standard servers with a Linux SUSE operating system. Furthermore, Aastra MX-ONE integrates with third party solutions using standards based interfaces, such as SIP and CSTA V3/XML. This open standards approach enables Aastra to offer our customers a choice and with this in mind we have worked together with Microsoft to ensure that Aastra MX-ONE can be integrated with the latest Microsoft UC products. Aastra MX-ONE V.4.1 SP3 is fully certified by the Microsoft Partner Program to ensure that customers have seamless experiences with setup, support, and use of Aastra MX-ONE communications system with Microsoft UC software. Aastra MX-ONE integrates with Microsoft UC solutions directly via a SIP connection to reduce the overall cost and complexity of the combined solution.

1.1

General

Integration of Aastra MX-ONE with the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 is supported as a complementary solution providing end user services like instant messaging, conferencing etc. Microsoft Partner Program has certified the integration between Aastra MX-ONE communications system running Telephony Server software V.4.1 SP3 and Microsoft Lync Server 2010 via a Direct SIP connection.

1.2

Scope of this document

The intent of this guide is to describe the basic integration between the Aastra MX-ONE and Microsoft Lync Server 2010. The following sections describe the solution integration that has been certified through the Microsoft Partner Program and covers only the Direct SIP integration. For a more technical description on how these integrations are set-up and function, please refer to the relevant CPI documentation for MX-ONE or go to the Microsoft UC product websites. As a general rule, it is always recommended to check the latest products documentation.

Integration Description

The integration of Aastra MX-ONEand Microsoft Lync Server 2010 described in this guide is achieved via Direct SIP. Direct SIP that is specified by Microsoft means that a SIP trunk is used to connect Aastra MX-ONEand Microsoft Lync Server 2010 (Mediation Server). The SIP trunk connection between the systems can be deployed with or without encryption. Aastra MX-ONE supports TLS and SRTP encryption protocols as the SIP transport mechanism when connected with Mediation Server.

Figure 1 - Direct SIP topology

This guide covers only the components that are required in the integration between Aastra MX-ONE V.4.1 SP3 or later and Lync Server 2010 via Direct SIP to offer the functionality required by the Microsoft UC Open Interoperability Program for enterprise telephony services and infrastructure. At least the following Microsoft Lync Server 2010 components are required in order to support this integration: Server Infrastructure Microsoft infrastructure (Domain Controller, Active Directory, DNS, etc.) Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Standard or Enterprise Edition Microsoft Mediation Server Client Lync 2010

2.1

Direct SIP

In Direct SIP integration, referred to as Enterprise Voice by Microsoft Lync 2010 users will have dedicated phone numbers that differs from those used in the MX-ONE.

Figure 2 - Direct SIP type of users

This enables the Lync 2010 client to make and receive external calls through a PC. The calls are routed from the Lync Server 2010 by the SIP trunk to the MX-ONE and further to the PSTN and viceversa. MX-ONE and Microsoft Lync Server 2010 will behave as networked PBXs, as typically is the case with all external trunks in the MX-ONE.

Direct SIP supported features

During the certification process the following Lync features were validated with MX-ONE Telephony Server software V.4.1 SP3. Basic Call services between MX-ONE and Lync end-points over SIP trunks Anonymous user calls Caller ID on both sides Decline call Call forwarding and simultaneously ring feature Inbound and outbound calls Media bypass (a.k.a. direct media between MX-ONE and Lync clients). Encryption (TLS and STRP) is required for this functionality. Inbound call from MX-ONE user device to Lync client Outbound call from Lync client to MX-ONE user device Outbound call: Call Forward All (CFA) to another Lync client Outbound call from Lync with by-pass enabled and CFA enabled to another Lync user Outbound call: PBX CFB (Call Forward on Busy) to another Lync user Outbound call from Lync with by-pass enabled and CFB enabled to another Lync user Conference Failover (to secondary Lync gateway) Security (support for TLS/SRTP encryption)

Installation and configuration

Installation
MX-ONE Installation

It is assumed that MX-ONE Telephony Server software V.4.1 SP3 or later is installed in the customer environment. The system installation is not covered in this guide and should be performed by a qualified Aastra certified partner prior to the start of the integration work. For Aastra MX-ONE installation, please check the appropriate CPI documentation. 4.1.2 Microsoft infrastructure

It is assumed that Microsoft infrastructure and Microsoft Lync Server are installed in the customer environment by a qualified engineer. For Microsoft infrastructure and Microsoft Lync Server requirements please check the appropriate Microsoft documentation.

4.2

Configuration

The following information was used in Aastras laboratory setup during the validation of the solution. The setup may change depending of the customer specific needs. Note that Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) needs to be properly specified in the Domain Name System (DNS). MX-ONE Telephony System V.4.1 SP3 IP address: 192.168.222.84 FQDN: mxone-lync.as.zr.zeruela.lab.se Microsoft Domain Controller, Active Directory, Certification Authority and DNS Server: IP address: 192.168.222.45 FQDN: lync-infra.as.zr.zeruela.lab.se Lync Server Standard Edition and Mediation pool IP address: 192.168.222.90 FQDN: lync-stand.as.zr.zeruela.lab.se 4.2.1 Direct SIP Setup

A SIP trunk has to be configured in Aastra MX-ONE as well as the access code for this route. The setup presented below uses TCP as transport protocol, in this case the destination access is expected to listening on port 5068 as default. This might be changed using SIP route parameter remote port. In order to secure a good interoperability between Aastra MX-ONE and Microsoft Lync Server 2010, Aastra recommend the use of Forced Gateway, because it will guarantee the same behavior for all type of calls passing through MX-ONE and going to Lync Server 2010.
