Polycom released new UCS version 5.4.0 Rev.A in 25-Sept-2015 which include below features.
Microsoft Office365 and Skype for Business Online
- The most interesting one is the support of Office365 and S4B online which a lot of customer ask for it.
- The PIN authentication will not be supported in S4B online.
- This features also supports the migration of users from the Skype for Business on premise solution to the Office365 online solution.
- Polycom phones support Skype for Business Online and Exchange Online services only.
- Exchange Online is not supported on SoundStructure VoIP Interface. Skype for Business and Exchange Online are not supported on VVX 101 and 1500 phones.
In-band Provisioning
- Similar to Snom phones now you can provision the phones from S4B direct without needing to have separate server for provisioning.
- Administrators can also migrate user information from a Lync on-premises solution to an Office365 online
solution.
- Administrators can switch between Lync or Skype for Business on-premise and Skype for
Business Office365 online deployments without interrupting services
- Below table the list of feature you could configure from S4B.
- I'll prepare blog for details on how to configure it soon.
