Making Video Calls between Lync Clients and H.323
Devices
While making calls between two Microsoft Lync Clients or between two H.323 endpoints is
documented elsewhere, this section focuses on how to makes calls between a Microsoft Lync
Client and an H.323 endpoint.
When extending the reach of Lync Clients to include H.323 endpoints, bear in mind that an
endpoint can also be present in a physical conference room in an enterprise. Therefore you also
need to set up contacts in your Lync Client which represent the conference rooms, so they can be
contacted like any other Lync Client appearing in your Contact List.

What is SCOPIA Video Gateway for Microsoft Lync?
SCOPIA Video Gateway for Microsoft Lync is avideo network device that allows you to make video
calls between the Lync Clients and H.323 video endpoints. H.323 video endpoints are “physical”
endpoints: meeting rooms equipped with room systems and personal endpoints typically located
on a desktop. Calling an H.323 video endpoint is just like when calling any other Lync Client. You
can also call from an H.323 video endpoint to a Lync Client.
Figure 1-1 Lync Client in a call with an H.323 video endpoint
If your organization deploys a SCOPIA Solution as the video network, you are able to use these
additional features:
•Creating a video conference in a virtual meeting room or in your personal virtual room and
invite other Lync Clients or H.323 video endpoints.
A virtual meeting room is literally a virtual room that serves as a meeting place and shows
several participants at the same time, instead of showing only one participant at a time as in
a Lync video call. Figure 1-2 shows a virtual meeting room attended by three participants
using their Lync Clients and the rest of participants joining from meeting rooms using
H.323 video endpoints.

RADVISION | User Guide for SCOPIA Video Gateway for Microsoft Lync Version 7.7
Figure 1-2 Virtual meeting room
•Joining one of the video conferences in progress.
•Seeing a presentation shared by an H.323 endpoint.
When an H.323 endpoint shares content in a video call or in a videoconference, the SCOPIA
Video Gateway automatically switches to the presentation channel and starts sending the
presentation to the Lync Client. The presentation is supported in H.264 format with a
maximum resolution of 720p at 30fps; the minimum supported resolution is VGA at 30fps.
This feature is available in every point-to-point call between an H.323 endpoint and a Lync
Client when you share presentation from the H.323 endpoint side and also when sharing a
presentation in a videoconference housed by an MCU (RADVISION or third-party).
Contact your network administrator to check if these features are available in your organization.
Setting up the Lync Client Contact List
You need to setup your Lync Client Contact List so that it contains meeting rooms equipped with
H.323 room systems.
If your video network supports additional videoconferencing features, you need to add contacts
that represent these features to the Contact List:
•Virtual meeting rooms — Virtual meeting rooms are used for creating videoconferences with
many participants. The video layout of a virtual meeting room allows you to see many
participants at the same time.
•Auto Attendant — This contact provides easy access to the list of videoconferences in
progress. You select the conference you want to join from this list.
•Your personal virtual room — This contact provides immediate access to your personal virtual
room from where you can create videoconferences with many participants at the same time.
The Contact List shows the availability status (presence) of contacts in real time. The list also
reflects the availability of a contact that was set up to receive calls simultaneously on more than
one device (for example, on a Lync Client and on an H.323 endpoint).

The Contact List displays default user pictures next to the name of a meeting room, personal
virtual room, virtual room or Auto Attendant, as it does for any other contact. See Figure 1-3 on
page 4.

set by your network administrator and cannot be changed by users. The room is associated with
your corporate user name and password so you can easily access the room definitions and change
them at any time.
Procedure
Step 1 To join from your Lync Client, open the Lync Client window.

Making a Video Call from a Lync Client to a Public H.323 Endpoint
You can make a video call from your Lync Client to a meeting room equipped with the H.323 room
system and located outside the organization‘s firewall. The meeting room user needs to provide
you with an IP address and a calling number prior to call setup.
Ask your video network administrator which one of these URI dialing formats you can use for
calling the public H.323 endpoint:
•[email protected]. In this instance you dial the IP address of the H.323 endpoint followed
by a domain name that your video network administrator has allocated for calling public
H.323 endpoints.
•[email protected]. In this instance you dial the H.323 calling number followed by its IP address.
You can add this contact to your List of Contacts; the contact’s presence is always unknown.
Procedure
Step 1 Open the Lync Client.
Enter the public IP address of the H.323 endpoint you want to call.
Step 2 Select Start a Video Call.

Making a Video Call from an H.323 Endpoint to a Lync Client
This section describes how to make a video call to a Lync Client from an H.323 endpoint: a room
system or a personal endpoint. It does not detail the interface of any specific endpoint model,
but the examples use the SCOPIA XT1000 Series to illustrate each of the steps.
Before You Begin
Contact your administrator for this information:
•Service number of the SCOPIA Video Gateways used in your deployment
•The URI of the Lync Client you want to call, like [email protected]m, or the E.164 number of
the Lync Client you want to dial.
Procedure
Step 1 In the room system, enter the URI of the Lync Client contact, like [email protected].
Alternativelyyou could dialthe SCOPIAVideoGateway servicenumberandthe LynccontactE.164
number.
For example, if you are making a video call from a SCOPIA XT1000 Series, perform these steps:
a. In the Main Menu page, select Make your call.
b. Enter the URI address, or dial the service number and the E.164 number using the Remote
Control Unit.
c. On the Remote Control Unit, press the Call button .
Step 2 The incoming call indication appears on the Lync Client, your party should select Accept, and
then, after the video call is established, select Start My Video.
Creating a Video Conference in a Virtual Meeting Room
You can create a video conference by notifying participants to join a virtual meeting room. A
virtual room shows several participants at the same time. Each participant connects to the virtual
room independently from their Lync Client.
This feature is available only in deployments using a SCOPIA Solution. Contact your video network
administrator to find out whether this feature is available in your organization.
Procedure
Step 1 Create an invitation to all participants to join the virtual meeting room, using the iVIEW Microsoft
Outlook Add-on (see “Scheduling SCOPIA Meetings in Microsoft Outlook” on page 17).
Participants can join the meeting from their H.323 endpoints, or from their Lync Clients.
Step 2 To join from your Lync Client, open the Lync Client window.
The Contact List is displayed.

by dialing in from their endpoint or Lync Client.
Joining a Conference in Progress Using your Lync Client
If you want to join a conference happenning at this moment, you can do it easily using the Auto
Attendant as described in this section.
This feature is available only in deployments using a SCOPIA Solution. Contact your video network
administrator to find out whether this feature is available in your organization.

Scheduling SCOPIA Meetings in Microsoft Outlook | 17
RADVISION | User Guide for SCOPIA Video Gateway for Microsoft Lync Version 7.7
Scheduling SCOPIA Meetings in Microsoft Outlook
There are two ways to schedule virtual meetings from within Microsoft Outlook.
You could use the SCOPIA Desktop Microsoft Outlook Add-on, which schedules regular Outlook
meetings and embeds web links (URLs) to easily and quickly join the virtual meeting either from
a SCOPIA Desktop Client or a Microsoft Lync Client when available.
Alternatively, the iVIEW Microsoft Outlook Add-on allows users to schedule virtual meetings by
combining the scheduling features of Outlook with the scheduling functionality of SCOPIA iVIEW
Management Suite.
In this way, users can see when people are available for the call and when the video network
device resources are available for the call, ensuring high quality conferencing for the duration of
the meeting.
The remainder of this section is devoted to creating meetings using the iVIEW Microsoft Outlook
Add-on.
