Remarks

This uri can be SIP or TEL URI format. This request allows the user to direct an incoming voice over IP invitation to either another Office Communicator user or a telephone number. Although any telephone number formatted as a TEL URI (+12535555555) is accepted by the Communicator Web Access Server, a successful redirection only happens if the telephone device at the TEL endpoint is capable of VoIP communication. The best source for telephone numbers to redirect to is the logged on user's self Presence category contactCard. It is not necessary to filter the contact card telephone list by the published attribute. The client application is presenting the logged on user with her own list of phone numbers. Hence, the list is not subject to the access rules applied to the contact data when presented to other users.

A Communicator Web Access client user can experience different forwarding behaviors depending on the technology enabled for the user. The following table illustrates the different behaviors for clients enabling combinations of UC and UM.

Examples

This example shows how a VoIP invitation can be redirected to a telephone handset. The invited user has configured her VoIP phone settings to redirect all incoming VoIP invitations that are accepted to a telephone.

<voIPRedirect>
   <uri>tel:+123455679</uri>
</voIPRedirect>
