AXIS Client for Unified Communication Systems

AXIS Client for Unified Communication Systems is an application that lets you make calls between your SIP-enabled Axis devices and linked Microsoft® Teams accounts. The license for Microsoft Teams is included with the application. The integration is handled by Microsoft SIP Gateway. For more information, see https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoftteams/devices/sip-gateway-plan.

• Axis SIP-enabled device with AXIS OS 12.6 or newer.

• Microsoft Teams account, https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoftteams/devices/sip-gateway-plan.

• A provisioning address specific for your region (based on where your Axis device connects from, the region where the MS Teams user is located can be different). You can find this address at https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoftteams/devices/sip-gateway-configure.

For a single Axis device, we recommend that you use a Microsoft Teams shared device license. For more information, see https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoftteams/teams-add-on-licensing/teams-shared-device-license.
