Hi All ,


How to access my Lync 2010 from internet? what are the procedures to enable this feature ?

can any one advise me for this with step by step option.

also what is the best way to upgrade from Lync 2010 to 2013 with all the existing feature (IM , Screen Sharing , Integrated with Avaya for Voice and video calls and lync meeting).

Thanks,

Hi Mani,

For Lync external user access, Lync edge and reverse proxy (ARR or WAP) are required.

Let me know about your current design, so that I can guide you for migration to Lync 2013.

Hi Mani,

To upgrade to Lync Server 2013, please refer to the following document.

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj205369.aspx

For Enterprise Voice, all dial plans/voice policies/usages etc are shared between Lync server versions, all you really need to do is to update your Lync topology to change the PSTN gateway/trunk to be "homed" on the 2013 mediation server pool and update any PSTN gateways/SIP trunks to point to the 2013 pool.

Also you should at least update the FQDN of Lync Mediation Server or Mediation Pool on Avaya.

Some related article and document for your reference.

Hi Sajeel,

We dont need external user access Lync from internet , we need our internal users access Lync from internet (with lync mobile or windows client) , we have lync server installed in singe server and sql server for another server , and we have enabled below features in Lync 2010.

IM , Screen Sharing , Integrated with Avaya for Voice and video calls and lync meeting.

Please let me know the way of enabling this feature (Internal users need to access Lync from Internet).

Thanks,

Mani L

Mani,

To enable internal users for Lync access from internet, you have to deploy Lync Edge server and reverse proxy server for mentioned Lync modalities to work.
