Note

Microsoft SBA interoperability support is aligned with the support cycles from Microsoft. 


Not applicable to SBC SWe Edge.

When the ASM is deployed as a Lync SBA, it is important that you always install the latest Cumulative Updates (CU) for Lync Server.

For Releases prior to 2.2 please refer to the previous release documentation

Installation Step

Before you begin

Your Lync SBA must be fully deployed, and all Lync services must be running before applying the CU.

  1. From the Ribbon SBC Edge 1000-2000 Download Center, download the latest ASM-UPDATES-CU update (the file name ASM-UPDATES-XXX_YYY-ZZZ_UX1k2k-release3.0.x-and-later.zip, where XXX refers to the version of Skype/Lync you are using, YYY refers to the oldest CU on this package, and ZZZ refers to the newest CU on this package).

  2. Open the .zip file and unpack it to a temporary folder. This will produce a ASM_XXX_ZZZ.pkg file.

  3. Install the package by following the instructions outlined in Installing an ASM Package.

Verification Step

You can verify which Cumulative Update was installed for Lync SBA by Viewing the Installed Packages on the ASM. Each cumulative update replaces the following previously released cumulative update. Below is a listing of Lync Services (and their associated version) that are expected to change after applying the CU update:
