Let??™s talk more about the OCS
2007 client applications.
As I mentioned earlier, MOC 2007 is not the only client available for use with OCS 2007.
With that said, according to Microsoft, it is the recommended Unifi ed Communications client for
it. MOC 2007 exposes to the end-user the presence, IM, and multimodal conferencing features
that OCS 2007 supports. That includes the expanded presence information and the ability to
control who sees it, group IM based on Exchange Distribution Lists, and the addition of
audio and video to IM conversations. But what other clients are out there that we could
choose instead?
If you are more comfortable making calls using a phone than from the MOC 2007
software client, Microsoft has developed the MOC Phone Edition telephone. For the most
part, this is a physical version of MOC 2007, with a similar user interface and similar
functionality. Like MOC 2007, with the MOC Phone Edition you can place a call either by
36 Chapter 2 ??? Microsoft Offi ce Communications Server 2007
using the numeric touchpad or by simply clicking one of your contacts. The MOC Phone
Edition also supports enhanced presence, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling, and a user
experience similar to that of MOC 2007, all in a desktop telephone. You can also use the
MOC Phone Edition to connect either from home or from the offi ce.
Another client you could choose is the Live Meeting 2007 client. This client is the data
collaboration and A/V client for both OCS 2007 and the Hosted Live Meeting service.
