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], 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].
Alternatively you could dial the SCOPIA Video Gateway service number and the Lync contact E.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.
