Integrate RealPresence DMA and Lync 2013
Before integrating, gather required information from your Lync 2013 system administrator. If you need the
RealPresence DMA system to automatically create conference contacts in Active Directory, ensure that
your RealPresence DMA system is integrated with Microsoft Active Directory before continuing. Refer to the
Polycom Unified Communications Deployment Guide for Microsoft Environments for more information on
the preliminary network, port, Lync server, and DNS configuration steps needed to prepare the
RealPresence DMA system and your environment for integration with Lync 2013.
Required Information
You should gather the following information before beginning the integration process:
● The Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the RealPresence DMA system
● The SIP domain for conference contacts (used in the Contact SIP domain field on the Admin >
Conference Manager > Conference Settings page)
● The FQDN of or IP address of the Lync pool (used in the Next hop address field on the Network >
External SIP Peers > Add External SIP Peer dialog)
