Topic Last Modified: 2009-03-04

You can use the General tab of Edge Server Properties to view and verify which of the Office Communications Server edge services is configured, including the following:

  • Instant messaging and presence. This indicates whether the Access Edge service is configured on the Edge Server. The Access Edge service enables your internal users to send instant messages and view presence with external users, including federated users and remote users. If your organization has purchased a license for public IM connectivity, your users can also communicate with external users on the public IM networks of the MSN network of Internet services, AOL, and Yahoo!. (Public IM connectivity requires a separate license.)
  • Web conferencing. This indicates whether the Web Conferencing Edge service is configured on the Edge Server. The Web Conferencing Edge service enables your internal users to invite external users to participate in on-premises Web conferencing meetings.
  • A/V conferencing. This indicates whether the A/V Edge service is configured on the Edge Server. The A/V Edge service enables your internal users to participate in audio and video sessions with external users.
