This addition is another step forward in attaining feature-parity with the Lync Phone Edition platform, with some differences. Search results can also easily be added to the Lync user’s contact list directly from the phone. Leveraging this service provides for real-time search results with presence which are not affected by any out-dated offline address book files. The phones can now perform directory searches against the entire Lync Address Book by sending requests to the Lync Server’s Address Book Web Query service. A future article will cover the configuration and usage of these features in more detail. Additional capabilities will also be provided in this category with future releases.
This new functionality not available in Lync Phone Edition brings the first set of options in the way of supporting basic shared-line telephony features like inbound call pickup, outbound calling on behalf of another user, and call status monitoring. Detailed configuration of this feature will be covered at the end of this article. More capabilities will be added to this feature set in later releases. This initial release addresses the most important features including user provisioning, click to call/forward/hang up/transfer/hold/resume, and to join a Lync Online Meeting. This new capability is the framework to provide the same ‘Better Together’ functionality which has been present in Lync Phone Edition (LPE) devices via USB since the release of the original CX700 phone for Office Communications Server.
All of these new features are supported in both Lync 20 environments, expect where specifically explained otherwise as in the case of video calling support.
