Creating a communications and collaboration endpoint involves calling the following methods:

  • CreateEndpoint for a SIP endpoint used for all the activities other than remote call control.
  • CreateProxyEndpoint for a proxy endpoint used in remote call control as part of telephony integration.

To review a C# example of creating and enabling an endpoint object, see Create a Principal Endpoint.

In creating the SIP endpoint, the referenced example relies on Unified Communications Client API to assign an endpoint ID value for the newly created SIP endpoint; however, a client can specify an endpoint ID value explicitly. For a SIP endpoint, the SIP URI refers to a domain account managed by a SIP server, that is, Microsoft Office Communications Server.

In creating a proxy endpoint, however, the client must explicitly specify both the SIP URI object (UccUri) and the endpoint ID value for creating a proxy endpoint. In this case, the SIP URI object for the proxy endpoint is created using the proxyEndpointSipUri string value ("sip:jaya@ctsasvr.contoso.com"). Call ParseUri on a IUccUriManager object to obtain a UccUri. The endpoint ID of the proxy endpoint is the proxyEndpointTelUri ("tel:+14255550100") string value. Notice that the SIP URI of a proxy endpoint refers to a domain account managed by a Computer Supported Telecommunications Applications (CSTA) server. The TEL URI refers to the telephone number of the phone set.

In Unified Communications Client API, context is a general data structure representing a collection of name-value pairs. It is encapsulated by the IUccContext interface. A context is typically used to supply application-specific data or metadata relevant to the affected object. The context is not processed by the server.
