Configuring Analog Devices

Analog devices in Lync Server are configured using only the Lync Server Management Shell, and are represented as an Active Directory Contact object that is SIP enabled. Each contact is explicitly assigned a gateway parameter so Lync will route all calls destined for that analog device to the gateway it is physically attached to.

To create a new analog device and contact object, use the New-CsAnalogDevice cmdlet:

New-CsAnalogDevice -Gateway <FQDN or IP of IP/PSTN Gateway> -LineUri <String> -OU <Organizational Unit> -RegistrarPool <FQDN of Primary Registrar> -DisplayName <Active Directory Contact Display Name> -DisplayNumber "<Phone Number Display Format>" -AnalogFax <$True | $False>

The only difference when configuring a fax device is to set the AnalogFax parameter to $true. This ensures the media for calls to those devices will never traverse a Lync Mediation Server. Set the AnalogFax parameter to $false for all other types of analog devices.

Dial plans and voice policies will not be applied locally by an analog device, but can still be assigned so that the server will enforce these policies.

To grant a dial plan to an analog device, use the Grant-CsDialPlan cmdlet:

Grant-CsDialPlan -Identity <Analog Device Account Name> -PolicyName <Dial Plan Policy Name>

To grant a voice policy to an analog device, use the Grant-CsVoicePolicy cmdlet.

Grant-CsVoicePolicy -Identity <Analog Device Account Name> -PolicyName <Voice Policy Name>
