This chapter is being developed. It describes how to integrate Lync Server with PBXs that are not certified for direct Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) or with other third-party telephony systems (for example, Skype and Google Talk) by using Asterisk as the gateway.

    Great series of articles! Thanks a lot! Do you plan to publish chapters that describe integration with third-party video conferencing devices like Polycom?

    hey Max Y, here's a guide from Polycom for configuring HDX to work with Lync. I've used this before to successfully get this done for a customer. I'm sure they have similar guides for other series/models.
