Superceded 12th Nov2012 by the Mk-II. A not uncommon user-misconfiguration for a Lync user is to find their account possessing a LineURI (their “msRTCSIP-Line”) telephone number, but for them to not be enabled for Enterprise Voice. This more commonly occurs in the early stages of a deployment (ahead of cutover), or as the on-site admins …

I see NET’s just released a firmware update for the Tenor series of UC Gateways. It takes it up from “AS_AF_AX_BX-DXi-P108-09-18” to “AS_AF_AX_BX-DXi-P108-09-21”. No idea what’s in it, and I’m not allowed to post it here (sorry) – but if you’re a Tenor devotee like me, you’ve already abandoned this post and are downloading it …

Lync CU 6 has just landed. It takes the server to .199, the client to .4103, and OCPE to .4100. I’ve placed all of the relevant links in my new “Lync Resource Toolkit” page, my new one-stop shop for Lync bits, which I’ll be keeping current. It’s up the top of the grey bar on …
You might have seen my earlier post on the file formats you need for audio files for Lync and Exchange. From firmware release 2.1.x, the UX family of PSTN Gateways now support the direct provision of Music On Hold (MOH). “The Music On Hold feature allows you to play music or other audio while a …
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! I was actually quite impressed when I managed to get my sample IP650 working. Consultative transfer on a handset under Lync has to …
Hooray! The Reskit’s been updated and ABSconfig.exe now remembers the radio button settings! (I blogged it way back here & originally here). The new version takes the Reskit to 4.0.7577.197, and can be downloaded from here. Note that you’ll need to uninstall the old version – this update won’t just go in over the top …
Whoops: Download file updated on May15th. The initial May 13th build used “short tags” in some sections. Now resolved. With 4 days to go until the first birthday of my C-ChangePHP, I’m celebrating it early by releasing an update to “v2”. This release fixes a few things that broke in iOS5, and adds a …
Long-thought impossible, it turns out that you CAN configure an NET Tenor (nee Quintum) FXS gateway for HOTLINE operation. Here’s how.
There are plenty of articles that outline the migration process for taking a Standard Edition installation of Lync to Enterprise Edition, but what I’ve not seen covered off is a check-list of things to look out for BEFORE you kill the old SE. The obvious things are checking you’ve: swung DNS updated the Edge (hosts …
Here’s one I stumbled across by chance – a March 2012 update to the Lync server. I’m calling it CU5.5, although I’ve not seen anything to suggest it’s been formally bestowed with that title. (Could it be CU6 running early??) It updates several components on the Server (including Mobility) to 4.0.7577.197, and comes with its …
