Configuring Communications Server for AE Services

About this task

When you set up the Communications Server, you will need to make sure that you have followed the necessary steps for configuring the server. These steps are listed in Configuring the Server section of the Deploying Telephony in the Microsoft Office Communicator 2005 Telephony Planning and Deployment Guide. Use this table as a guideline as you read through.

Procedure

  1. Update Live Communications Server schema.

    This step will be complete when you carry out the Active Directory Preparation Basic Steps. See, Checklist for Live Communications Server.

  2. Normalize the phone numbers.

    This step will be complete when you set up the Address Book Service. See, Checklist for Live Communications Server Checklist for Live Communications Server.

  3. Enable RCC Extensions. See Enabling Remote Call Control in Active Directory for Microsoft Live Communications Server of this document.
  4. Set up connections. See Setting up connections of this document.
  5. Set up static routes. See Configuring a static route and Specifying the AE Server as an authorized host for Microsoft Live Communications Server.
  6. Set controlled line configuration.
  7. Configure a CTI link. This set will be complete when you administered a CTI link on Communication Manager, and you administered a TSAPI link in the AE Services Management Console.
  8. Configure PBX SIP Proxy. In terms of the Microsoft Office Communicator 2005 Telephony Planning and Deployment Guide, the AE Services Server performs the role of the RCC Gateway only. The SIP/PSTN Gateway and the PBX-SIP Proxy do not apply to the AE Services implementation for Microsoft LCS.
    tipTip

    Microsoft provides a utility called Office Communicator 2005 Phone Normalization Script that enables you to make bulk changes to Active Directory. If you run this utility, you do not have to do per-user manual administration. To get this phone normalization script, go to www.microsoft.com, and locate Live Communications Server 2005 with SP1 Resource Kit. The resource kit includes this phone normalization script.
