What's New in this Release

This section contains information about new features and functionality added in this release.

• Cisco Unity Connection REST Interface
• Docked Window
• Call Monitoring and Recording

Cisco Unity Connection REST Interface

Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Lync now connects with voicemail services through a REST interface. The client supports Cisco Unity Connection version 8.5 or later.

Note	Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Lync uses TLS as the transport protocol for the voicemail service. You cannot use a nonsecure transport protocol.

Docked Window

Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Lync now includes a user interface option that displays a small window at the top of the screen and allows users to quickly access common functions.

Select View > Show docked window to show or hide the docked window.

Select View > Position docked window to position the docked window and then select one of the following:

• Top left
• Top center
• Top right

The docked window provides access to the following functions:

• Contact search
• Direct dialing of phone numbers
• Call history
• Voicemail
• Hub display

Restriction:

Users must not position the Microsoft Windows taskbar on the top of the screen. The docked window displays only at the top of the screen. If users position the Windows taskbar at the top of the screen, the taskbar might overlay the docked window. If the taskbar overlays the docked window, the users cannot access the docked window.

Call Monitoring and Recording

Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Lync supports additional audio path functions for devices such as built-in bridge capabilities and call recording.

Configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager to enable monitoring and recording. See the Monitoring and Recording section of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide for step-by-step instructions.

Note

You might need to download and apply a device package to enable monitoring and recording capabilities on the device, depending on your version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Before you start configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager, open the Phone Configuration window for the devices on which you plan to enable monitoring and recording capabilities. If the Built In Bridge field is not available on the Phone Configuration window, you should download and apply the most recent device packages.
