Polycom realpresence 1800 - Realpresence Polycom Contentconnect Plug in

Appendix H - Deployment Into Microsoft Environments
Polycom®, Inc. 1001
The Gateway allows Polycom endpoints, using native SIP BFCP, and Lync clients, using native RDP, to
share Content in a conference.
Polycom® ContentConnect™ Gateway Usage Guidelines
MS AVMCU Cascade is the only Deployment Architecture that is supported.
For more information see Deployment Architecture 2 - RealConnect Cascaded Conferences.
One Polycom® ContentConnect™ RDP Gateway connection is supported per conference in the
Collaboration Server, initiated by the DMA through the Polycom® ContentConnect™ server.
There is no Lync client associated with the Polycom® ContentConnect™ Gateway connection and even if
the AVMCU is empty the Polycom® ContentConnect™ will be still be connected. The Collaboration Server
does not consider the Polycom® ContentConnect™ RDP Gateway connection as a participant and if the
conferences on both the Collaboration Server and the AVMCU are empty it will disconnect the Polycom®
ContentConnect™ RDP Gateway and the AVMCU link.
When a Content sharing endpoint is detected by the Collaboration Server side the Polycom®
ContentConnect™ RDP Gateway will receive BFCP message triggering the RDP session on the Lync side
of the topology.
RealPresence Polycom® ContentConnect™ Plug in
For backward compatibility the Collaboration Server supports Content sharing using either the Polycom®
ContentConnect™ Gateway or the lug-in based Content sharing solution, however not in the same
conference.
Using Polycom® ContentConnect™ Plug in, Lync 2013 clients are able to share content in Polycom Content
sessions in both Collaboration Server Hosted calls and Cascaded Lync 2013 AVMCU calls, with both Lync
2010 & 2013 clients.
Content Sharing behavior is summarized in the following tables:
