Skype for Business compatibility
Note: What is Skype for Business?
Microsoft has re-branded its software products formerly sold under the Lync name
to Skype for Business. In this document, when Skype for Business is referenced,
former Lync products are included.
Spectralink software is available in two variants – Skype for Business and non-Skype for
Business (or open SIP/Generic). Starting with Spectralink software 4.3/4.4, even numbered
releases support both Skype for Business and open SIP and odd numbered releases support
open SIP only. Release 4.7 and above differentiate Skype for Business and open SIP releases
by the build number. The last four digits of the build number denotes the build ID. For
Lync/Skype for Business releases the first digit is set to 1. For non-Lync/SIP/Generic releases,
the first digit is set to 2. For example:
Skype for Business – 5.0.0.1077
SIP/Generic – 5.0.0.2077
Handsets purchased without Skype for Business capability will not run Skype for Business
software releases, e.g. 5.0.0.1xxx. Handsets with Lync/Skype for Business compatibility will run
BOTH Skype for Business and SIP/Generic software releases.
All legacy phones manufactured prior to June 2013 support Skype for Business.
Support Skype for Business?
Two handset variations:
1. Skype for Business-enabled: supports Skype for Business and SIP/Generic
2. SIP/Generic: does not support Skype for Business
All handsets have product ID’s that identify them as Skype for Business (WITH LYNC) or non-
Skype for Business (WITHOUT LYNC) compatible.
