14 Converged Desktop Services
Scope of this document
This document is intended to assist technical administrators in designing
and configuring a Converged Desktop environment between CS 1000 and
MCS 5100 systems. The examples provided in this document represent
only one example of design and configuration.
"Description of the network
configured in this document" (page 48) provides the outline of the network
used as an example only.
How Converged Desktop Services works
Session Initiation Protocol Converged Desktop Service (SIP CDS) is a CS
1000 and MCS 5100 feature. SIP CDS allows users to have simultaneous
access to multimedia features on MCS 5100, and to business grade
telephony features on CS 1000 systems. The Converged Desktop feature
gives users access to business grade telephony features not supported
by the SIP standard, while also allowing users to take advantage of the
multimedia functionality of MCS 5100. The user’s existing telephone is
used for telephony functionality while the PC Client delivers the multimedia
features.
A Converged Desktop consists of a telephone and multimedia PC Client
(PCC) software (see
Figure 1 "Converged Desktop" (page 14) ). The
supported telephones include analog (500 or 2500-type) telephones, digital
telephones, and IP Phones. A SIP Phone cannot be configured as a
Converged Desktop. A SIP telephone can be configured on the MCS 5100
as a stand-alone device or be tied to a PC Client. In both instances, the SIP
telephone receives only features associated with the MCS 5100.
