You can configure links between two network regions as part of call admission control (CAC). Regions within a network are linked through physical wide area network (WAN) connectivity. You can use the Lync Server Control Panel to define a link between two network regions and set the bandwidth limitations on audio and video connections between these regions. For details about deleting an existing network region link, see Deleting Network Region Links.

To create a network region link

  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 Link.

  4. On the Region Link page, click New.

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

    Note:
    This value must be unique within your Lync Server 2013 deployment.

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

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

  8. (Optional) If you want to place bandwidth limitations on audio or video calls between these regions, select a bandwidth policy profile from the Bandwidth policy drop-down list.

  9. Click Commit.
