Polycom SoundPoint IP phones for Lync

  Jeff Schertz is a brilliant resource. Yes, I’m a fan. His recent post on getting the SoundPoint phones working under Lync was invaluable – and the extension dialling one even better!

Having been inundated with Lync work since it was released over a year ago, I’ll admit to having not paid a lot of attention to OCS.
