They do not run any version of the Lync Phone Edition client. All of those except for the CX700 (the sole member of Tanjay family) are USB-only devices and simply just plug-and-play into a workstation running the Lync client.
These device include the Polycom CX100, CX200 (LG-Nortel IP8501), CX300 (Plantronics Calisto P540), and CX700 (LG-Nortel IP8540) voice endpoints. My colleague Mike Stacy first talked about the new line of Polycom CX solutions back in May of this year during early beta cycles of the Lync product.Īll previous endpoints are still supported in Lync Server with the identical functionality they contained when used in an Office Communications Server environment.
As Microsoft Lync Server 2010 was recently released to the general public many professionals will be starting to get their hands on the new UC endpoints designed specifically for use with Lync Server 2010.
