Possible to Connect Lync 2010 Client Without Lync Server?

[muranskycotech]

I'm currently running CUCM 7.1.5 and CUPS 8.6.3 in conjunction with CUPC 8.5.x, and I'm just curious to know if it's possible to connect the Lync 2010 client to CUCM/CUPS for IM and phone control without the use of a Lync Server.

Hi

No, it's not possible.

Thanks, I didn't think so... but a misinformed sales rep suggested it was.

If I just want to tie CUCM and Lync together, do I need anything special (UC Integration for Lync?) or is  it possible to do it with just a SIP interface?
