Configuring Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.5 with Microsoft OCS for Microsoft Office Communicator Call Control
Revised:
March 28, 2011
1 Requirements for this Integration
This module describes the configuration steps for integrating Cisco Unified Presence with Microsoft Office Communications Server or Microsoft Live Communications Server for Microsoft Office Communicator (MOC) call control.
Note 
This module describes the procedure for integrating Cisco Unified Presence with Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS). Use this module as a guide for setting up this integration between Cisco Unified Presence and Microsoft Live Communications Server (LCS).
Software Requirements
•Cisco Unified Presence Server Release 8.0.x, 8.5.x
•Cisco Unified Communications Manager Server Release 6.x, 7.x or 8.x
•Microsoft Office Communications (OCS) 2007 or 2007 R2 Server, Standard or Enterprise
•Microsoft Live Communications (LCS) 2005 Server, Standard or Enterprise
•Microsoft Office Communicator (MOC)
•Microsoft Windows Server
•(Optional) Cisco CSS 11500 Content Services Switch
Refer to the Hardware and Software Compatibility Information for Cisco Unified Presence for software compatibility information with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
For this integration it is assumed that you have the following installed and configured:
•A Cisco Unified Presence server that is set up and configured as described in the Deployment Guide for Cisco Unified Presence.
•The Cisco Unified Presence server must be correctly deployed with a Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) server as described in the Deployment Guide for Cisco Unified Presence.
•A Microsoft OCS or LCS server that is set up and configured as per the requirements defined in the Microsoft documentation.
2 Overview of this Integration
•How this Integration Works
•Line Appearances
How this Integration Works
Cisco Unified Presence allows enterprise users to control their Cisco Unified IP Phone through Microsoft Office Communicator, a third party desktop IM application. The Microsoft Office Communicator client for this integration can run on either Microsoft Live Communications Server (LCS) 2005 or Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007.
Microsoft Office Communicator sends session-initiating requests to the CTI Gateway on Cisco Unified Presence to control Cisco Unified IP Phones registered in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, as illustrated in Figure 1. The CTI Gateway forwards the requests to the CTI Manager on Cisco Unified Communications Manager. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager returns the events to the Microsoft Office Communicator application using the same path in the opposite direction.
Figure 1 Integration Overview
Cisco Unified Presence supports CTI connections with up to eight Cisco Unified Communications Manager nodes; you can configure up to eight CTI connection addresses on Cisco Unified Presence.
Microsoft Office Communicator sends session initiating requests to Cisco Unified Presence. These requests are routed in a round-robin sequence to the CTI connection addresses configured on Cisco Unified Presence. For example, the first request is routed to first CTI node, second request to next CTI node and so on. Priority is assigned to CTI connection addresses in the order in which they are configured. If a dual node Cisco Unified Presence cluster is deployed, you must use a load balancer. In this scenario, the load balancer sends the session initiating requests in a round-robin sequence from Microsoft Office Communicator clients to the Cisco Unified Presence publisher and subscriber nodes. There is a maximum of two nodes in a Cisco Unified Presence cluster when it is configured to support Microsoft Office Communicator Remote Control Client.
In a dual node Cisco Unified Presence cluster, a load balancer can be used to round-robin the session initiating requests sent from Microsoft Office Communicator clients to the publisher and subscriber Cisco Unified Presence nodes.
When the CTI Gateway on Cisco Unified Presence starts, it connects to all CTI connection addresses in the configured list, and monitors these connections by sending periodic heartbeat messages. When a Microsoft Office Communicator user signs in, Microsoft OCS sends a SIP INVITE request with a CSTA body to the CTI Gateway to monitor the Cisco Unified IP Phone for the user. The CTI Gateway creates a session for that Microsoft Office Communicator user, and uses the load balancing mechanism to send session initiating requests from that user to any of the CTI connection addresses.
Once the CSTA application session is established, Microsoft Office Communicator and CTI Gateway exchange a sequence of SIP INFO messages for activities such as monitoring devices, making calls, transferring calls, or changing the status of controlling devices. This message exchange is sent over the same CTI connection address with which the initial session was established.
If connection to any of the CTI Managers fails, outbound call requests from Microsoft Office Communicator are returned until the connection comes back into service. If a Cisco Unified Communications Manager node is down, the CTI Gateway will make periodic attempts to re-establish a connection to it. When the Cisco Unified Communications Manager node comes back in service, the CTI Gateway will reconnect to it and monitor the connection. In this case, when Microsoft OCS sends an (in-session) SIP INFO request, the CTI Gateway will have a different CTI Manager connection ID because of a new connection. Microsoft Office Communicator sends a new SIP INVITE message, but the Microsoft Office Communicator user is not required to sign in again.

Line Appearances
When a user selects a phone to use with the remote call control feature, on Cisco Unified Presence the user is selecting a line appearance to control through Microsoft Office Communicator. A line appearance is the association of a line with a device. On Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the administrator can associate a device with multiple lines, and a line with multiple devices. Typically it is the role of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager administrator to configure line appearances by specifying the lines and devices that are associated with each other.

Configuring the Service Parameters
The SIP message routing from Cisco Unified Presence to Microsoft Office Communicator is based on the Record-Route header added by Microsoft OCS in the initial request. Cisco Unified Presence resolves the hostname in the Record-Route header to an IP address and routes the SIP messages to the Microsoft Office Communicator client.
In addition the transport type on Cisco Unified Presence should be the same as the transport type configured on Microsoft OCS for the Cisco Unified Presence route (either TLS or TCP respectively).
Procedure
Step 1 Select Cisco Unified Presence Administration > System > Service Parameters.
Step 2 Select the Cisco Unified Presence server,
Step 3 Select the service Cisco UP SIP Proxy.
Step 4 Verify that the following parameters are configured correctly:
•The Proxy Domain parameter value must define the enterprise top-level domain name (e.g. "example.com"). This parameter specifies which URIs are treated as local and handled by this Cisco Unified Presence installation. Other SIP requests may be proxied.
•Enable the Add Record-Route Header parameter.
•Enable the Use Transport in Record-Route Header parameter.

•Line URI Configuration on Microsoft Active Directory
•User Authentication on Cisco Unified Presence
•Configuring Microsoft Active Directory
•Microsoft OCS Configuration Overview
Line URI Configuration on Microsoft Active Directory
Before you configure the Line URI parameter on Microsoft Active Directory, note the following:
•For the Line URI, we recommend that you use the format: tel:xxxx;phone-context=dialstring
–xxxx also specifies the directory number that the CTI Manager reports to Cisco Unified Presence as the calling or called number when a call gets placed.
–phone-context=dialstring enables the Microsoft Office Communicator client to control one of the devices that are associated with the directory number.
•If you configure the device ID, the Microsoft Office Communicator client controls that particular device on initial sign in; for example: tel:xxxx;phone-context=dialstring;device=SEP0002FD3BB5C5
•If you configure the partition, the Microsoft Office Communicator client specifies the partition for the directory number; for example: tel:xxxx;phone-context=dialstring;device=SEP0002FD3BB5C5;partition=myPartition
•The Line URI only takes effect when the Microsoft Office Communicator user signs in.
•After initial sign in, the Microsoft Office Communicator user can change the line appearance that they wish to control using the Phone Selection plug-in.
•If you do not configure the device ID in the Line URI, the CTI Gateway determines the devices that are associated with the line Directory Number (DN). If only one device is associated with the line DN, the CTI Gateway uses that device.
•If you deploy Microsoft LCS, and you do not configure the device ID in the Line URI, and two devices are associated with the line DN (shared line), the CTI Gateway uses the following rules to select a device:
–If one of the two devices is Cisco IP Communicator and its status is registered, CTI Gateway uses that device.
–If one of the two devices is Cisco IP Communicator, but it is not registered, CTI Gateway uses the alternate hard device.
–If none of the two devices is Cisco IP Communicator, both phones will ring when the Microsoft Office Communicator user signs in. The user must answer a phone to control that device.
–If more than two devices are associated with a line DN, you must specify the desired device in the Line URI.

User Authentication on Cisco Unified Presence
When configuring the SIP URI on Microsoft Active Directory, consider how Cisco Unified Presence performs the user authentication checks. The user authentication logic is as follows:
1. Cisco Unified Presence checks if the Microsoft Office Communicator (sign in) user ID matches the Cisco Unified Communications Manager user ID. If Cisco Unified Presence cannot find a match:
2. Cisco Unified Presence checks if the Microsoft Office Communicator user email (the From header) matches the Cisco Unified Communications Manager user email. If Cisco Unified Presence cannot find a match:
3. Cisco Unified Presence checks if the Microsoft Office Communicator user email matches the ocsPrimaryAddress value of a Cisco Unified Communications Manager user.
For example, a user Joe has the Microsoft Office Communicator user ID joe@someCompany.com. The From header in the SIP INVITE is sip:joe@someCompany.com.
In this case, Cisco Unified Presence checks the following:
•If there is a user in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database whose user ID is `joe'. If this user ID does not exist:
•If there is a user in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database whose mail is `joe@someCompany.com'. If this mail does not exist:
•If there is a user in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database whose ocsPrimaryAddress is `sip:joe@someCompany.com'.
Configuring Microsoft Active Directory
Before You Begin
•Read the topic describing Line URI configuration on Microsoft Active Directory.
•Read the topic describing the user authentication checks on Cisco Unified Presence.
Procedure
Step 1 From the Microsoft Active Directory application window, add a user name and the telephone number that are associated with each particular user.
Step 2 For each of the users that you added, open the Properties window on Microsoft Active Directory and configure the following parameters:
a. Enable the user for the Office Communications Server.
b. Enter the SIP URI.
c. Enter the Microsoft OCS server name or pool.
Caution
Ensure the OCS server name or pool name does not contain the underscore character.
d. Under Telephony Settings, select Configure.
e. Check Enable Remote call control.
f. Enter the Remote Call Control SIP URI; for example, sip:8000@my-cups.my-domain.com, where my-cups.my-domain.com specifies the FQDN of the Cisco Unified Presence server that you configured for this integration.
g. Enter the Line URI value.
Troubleshooting Tips
•The SIP URI that you enter on Microsoft Active Directory must match the static route URI that you define when you are configuring static routes on Microsoft OCS.

7 How to Configure the Normalization Rules on Microsoft Active Directory
•Configuring the Normalization Rules on Microsoft Active Directory
•Verifying the Username Displays on the Microsoft Office Communicator Interface
•Sample Normalization Rules
Configuring the Normalization Rules on Microsoft Active Directory
A reverse look-up of a directory number to username does not work under these conditions:
•a Microsoft Office Communicator user is controlling the Cisco Unified IP Phone
•there is an incoming voice call to that user
•the directory number for the user is configured as E.164 in the Active Directory
•Active Directory phone number normalization rules are not set up
Under these conditions, the application identifies the call as coming from an extension number, and the username will not display in Microsoft Office Communicator.
Therefore you must set up the correct normalization rules for the Active Directory address book on the Microsoft Office Communicator server to enable the Microsoft Office Communicator user to see name of the calling party in the popup window that displays when the call is made.
Note You must provide a normalization rule file for extension dialing. See the sample normalization rules topic for an example.
Before you Begin
The CA-signed certificate for Microsoft OCS needs to be on the Microsoft Office Communicator PC to achieve correct certificate distribution for address book synchronization. If a common CA is used to sign certificates, for example Verisign or RSA, the CA certificate may already come installed on the PC.
Procedure
Step 1 Use this directory path to add the Normalization rules to this file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007\Web Components\Address Book Files\Files\Company_Phone_Number_Normalization_Rules.txt
Step 2 Use this directory path to run the Address Book server (ABServer) and regenerate the Normalization rules: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007\Server\Core>Abserver.exe -regenUR
Note You might have to wait up to five minutes for a UR regenerate to complete successfully.
Step 3 Use this directory path to synchronize the ABServer: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007\Server\Core>ABServer.exe -syncnow
Note You might have to wait up to five minutes for an ABServer synchronization to complete successfully.
Step 4 After the synchronization is complete, check the Microsoft OCS server Event Viewer and verify that it indicates that the synchronization is complete.
Step 5 Test the Normalization rule on the Phone number: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007\Server\Core>Abserver.exe -testPhoneNorm <E164 phone number>

•Load Balancing over TCP
Load Balancing over TCP
This topic describes how to incorporate a load balancer in a Cisco Unified Presence dual-node configuration for use with incoming CSTA/TCP connections. We recommend the Cisco CSS 11501 Content Services Switch for the load balancer.
Table 2 gives an overview of the necessary tasks for configuring the Cisco CSS 11501 Content Services Switch for this integration. For detailed information on each task, refer to the Cisco CSS 11500 Content Services Switch documentation at the following URL:

Task
|
Additional Notes
|
Create a SIP service entry for each Cisco Unified Presence server. |
•The keepalive port should be the same port as the content, port 5060. •The keepalive message type value should be `tcp'. |
Create a SIP rule that defines the content and the services that will manage this content |
The content is SIP on port 5060 The SIP service entries (for each Cisco Unified Presence server) must be associated to the rule. |
Create a NAT (Network Address Translation) rule to show the Virtual IP Address of Load Balancer |
The NAT rule shows the packets returning from the Cisco Unified Presence server to Microsoft OCS as coming from the Load Balancer (and not directly from the Cisco Unified Presence server). |
|
|
for Load Balancing over TCP
On Microsoft OCS, you must configure the following parameters:
•The next hop address to be the Virtual IP address of Load Balancer for the SIP message routing.
•The default TCP listener on port 5060.
On Cisco Unified Presence, you must configure the Virtual IP address of the Load Balancer. This is configured in the Virtual IP address field in Cisco Unified Presence Administration > System > Service Parameters > Cisco UP SIP Proxy > General Proxy Parameters (Clusterwide).
11 How to Deploy the Phone Selection Plug-in
Note The Phone Selection plug-in is only applicable if you are running Cisco Unified Presence release 7.0.3 or a later release.
The Phone Selection plug-in adds a Cisco Unified Presence tab to the Microsoft Office Communicator client interface that enables the user to select a phone device to control. Microsoft Office Communicator connects to the Cisco Unified Presence server, and the Phone Selection tab displays in a pane below the contacts list on Microsoft Office Communicator, as shown in Figure 2.
You must install the Phone Selection plug-in for the user if:
•on Cisco Unified Presence, the Microsoft Server Type value is "MOC Server OCS", and
•the user has multiple devices (lines), and
•on Microsoft OCS, the LINE URI for the user does not uniquely identify a line appearance (for example, there is no device=, or partition=, or both, in the LINE URI)
Note You cannot use the Phone Selection plug-in if you are running the remote call control feature with Microsoft LCS 2005 because Microsoft LCS 2005 does not support customized tabs. If you are using Microsoft LCS 2005, the remote call control feature uses the device selection logic on Cisco Unified Presence to determine the device to control. In the Cisco Unified Presence Administration GUI, select Application > Deskphone Control > Settings, and select the Microsoft Server Type value MOC Server LCS.
•Installing the Phone Selection Plug-in on a Client PC
•Uninstalling the Phone Selection Plug-in
•Providing Information about the Plug-in to your Users
Installing the Phone Selection Plug-in on a Client PC
Before You Begin
For this procedure you will require the Phone Selection plug-in installer file Cisco MOC RCC Plug-in.msi, which you can download from Cisco Unified Presence Administration. Select Application > Plugins and download the Cisco Unified Presence MOC Remote Call Control Plugin.
Procedure
Step 1 Run the following command on the client PC, where CUPFQDN value specifies the FQDN of your Cisco Unified Presence server:
msiexec /I "<plug_in_filename>.msi" CUPFQDN=my-CUP.cisco.com /L*V install_log.txt
Note If you do not specify the FQDN of your Cisco Unified Presence server in this command the plug-in installation will be aborted.
Step 2 Follow the installation instructions to install to finish installing the Phone Selection plug-in.
Step 3 Launch Microsoft Office Communicator, and verify that the Cisco Unified Presence tab connects and displays on the interface.
Troubleshooting Remote Call Control
Microsoft Office Communicator Users Hear Two Beeps for Each DTMF Tone
When running Microsoft Office Communicator with Remote Call Control, users can select Cisco IP Communicator as their phone device.
In this scenario, when a user makes a call and enters DTMF tones (for example, when entering a voicemail password), the DTMF tones beep twice for each button press—once from Microsoft Office Communicator and once from Cisco IP Communicator. This is normal and expected behavior when DTMF is negotiated in-band; it does not happen if DTMF is negotiated outof-band..
User Unable to Switch Selected Device from Cisco Unified IP Phone to Cisco IP Communicator
This problem can occur if you have configured the device name for Cisco IP Communicator to be the same as the Cisco Unified Communications manager username. This is not a supported configuration, and you should change the device name for Cisco IP Communicator to a unique name.
Remote Call Control is Not Working
If Remote Call Control is not working for the Microsoft Office Communicator users, and the SIP Proxy service is not processing incoming messages from the Microsoft Office Communicator Server, check the following:
This can be caused by a high number of simultaneous sign in attempts on Microsoft Office Communicator after restarting the
Microsoft OCS. When many of these attempts are made concurrently, the SIP Proxy service is flooded with INVITES and INFO messages.
1. Notify users about the service outage and recommend that they sign out of Microsoft Office Communicator during this time.
2. Stop the SIP Proxy service.
3. Restart the Microsoft OCS.
4. Restart the SIP Proxy service.
5. Notify users that they must sign in again to ensure that Remote Call Control is working properly.
Microsoft Office Communicator Client Cannot Connect to the Cisco Unified Presence Tab
If the Microsoft Office Communicator client cannot connect to the Cisco Unified Presence tab, check the following:
•You may have specified an invalid IP address or FQDN for your Cisco Unified Presence server. Repeat the plug-in installation procedure, specifying the correct Cisco Unified Presence server address in the command in Step 1.
•If you experience tab connection problems, note the following:
–You may need to add the web address of the Cisco Unified Presence server to the list of trusted web addresses in the browser on the client PC. In Microsoft Internet Explorer, select Internet Options > Security > Trusted Sites, and add the web address https://<Cisco Unified Presence_server_name> to the list of trusted web addresses.
–You may need to add the HTTPS web address of your domain to the security zone of the Cisco Unified Presence server. In Microsoft Internet Explorer, select Internet Options > Security > Local intranet > Sites > Advanced, and add the entry https://*.your-domain to the list of web addresses for the security zone.
•If an error message displays informing users that they do not have permission to use this feature, you need to enable users for Microsoft Office Communicator on Cisco Unified Presence.
Problems Installing the Plug-in on Microsoft Vista
If you are running a Microsoft Vista platform and you experience problems installing the plug-in, you may need to turn off User Access Control (UAC) on the client PC. Follow this procedure to turn off UAC:
1. Sign in to the client PC with the credentials of a member of the local Administrators group.
2. Select Start > Control Panel > User Accounts.
3. Select User Accounts in the User Accounts pane.
4. Select Turn User Account Control On or Off in the User Accounts task pane.
5. If UAC is currently configured in Admin Approval Mode, the User Account Control message displays. Select Continue.
6. Uncheck Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer.
7. Select OK.
8. Select Restart Now to apply the change.
