Every region within a call admission control (CAC) configuration must have some way to access every other region. While region links set bandwidth limitations on the connections between regions and also represent the physical links, a route determines which linked path the connection will traverse from one region to another. You can use Lync Server Control Panel to configure network region routes. From Lync Server Control Panel, you can create, modify, or delete a network region route.

To create a network region route

  1. From a user account that is a member of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group (or has equivalent user rights), or is assigned to the CsAdministrator role, log on to any computer in your internal deployment.

  2. Open a browser window, and then enter the Admin URL to open the Lync Server Control Panel. For details about the different methods you can use to start Lync Server Control Panel, see Open Lync Server Administrative Tools.

  3. In the left navigation bar, click Network Configuration and then click Region Route.

  4. On the Region Route page, click New.

  5. In New Region Route, type a value in the Name field.

    Note:
    This value must be unique within your Microsoft Lync Server 2010 deployment.

  6. From the Network region #1 drop-down list, select one of the two regions to be connected by this route.

  7. From the Network region #2 drop-down list, select the other region for this route. This region must be different from the region selected for Network region #1.

  8. Use the Network region links list box to add region links to the route. Click the Add button to display the Region Link page. Click a region link to add to this route, and then click OK.

    Note:
    Continue to click the Add button to add more links, or select a link and click Remove to remove a link.

  9. Click Commit.

To modify a network region route
