Using Microsoft Office Communications Server Features
with Video Calls
Depending on how your system is configured, you might be able to search a
Microsoft Office Communications Server directory, view a list of Microsoft
Office Communications Server contacts, see if the contacts are online, and call
them without knowing or remembering their addresses.
Managing Contacts Using Office Communicator
Office Communicator contacts appear on the Polycom HDX system Favorites
screen and in the Favorites group in the directory. To add or delete Office
Communicator contacts on the Polycom HDX system, use the Office
Communicator application. You can populate groups created locally on a
Polycom HDX system with existing Office Communicator contacts, but those
changes do not appear on any other device.
To manage your contacts using Office Communicator:
1 Log in to Office Communicator with the same user name and password
specified in the SIP settings of your Polycom HDX system.
2 From Office Communicator you can:
— Add and remove contacts
— Add and remove groups
— Move contacts from group to group
Changes made to contacts and groups using Office Communicator appear on
the Polycom HDX system Favorites screen and in the Favorites group in the
directory. Polycom HDX systems support up to 200 contacts and 64 groups
from Office Communicator.
Microsoft Office Communications Server directory searches only return an entry
whose last name begins with your search string. First names beginning with the
search string are not returned in the results.
Polycom HDX systems do not support Office Communicator distribution list groups,
which are created on the Microsoft Exchange Server and are typically used for
sending email to a group of people.
