Configure Telephony for Users
Topic Last Modified: 2010-12-14
Telephony settings are some of the individual settings of a user account that can be configured in Lync Server Control Panel for the user (that is, if the individual user has been enabled for Microsoft Lync Server 2010 and the organization supports telephony).
Lync Server 2010 user telephony options include the following:
Audio/video disabled The user cannot make calls with audio and video.
PC-to-PC only The user can make only PC-to-PC audio or video calls.
Enterprise Voice The user can use the Lync Server 2010 infrastructure to route all incoming and outgoing calls. The user can also make PC-to-PC calls.
Remote call control The user can use Lync Server 2010 to control the desktop phone, and can also make PC-to-PC calls.
For details about configuring telephony for an organization, see Configure Telephony for Users and Deploying Enterprise Voice in the Deployment documentation.
