Before you create a Unified Messaging (UM) IP gateway, you must first set the IP address or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) on the VoIP gateway, IP PBX, or session border controller (SBC) that you're using. Then, when you create the UM IP gateway, you set the IP address or FQDN. You can change the IP address or FQDN later.

You can configure the IP address or FQDN using either the EAC or the Shell. In the EAC, the Address box on the UM IP gateway page can accept an IPv4 IP address, an IPv6 address, or an FQDN. You can also use the Address parameter on the Set-UMIPGateway cmdlet in the Shell to set an IPv4 IP address, an IPv6 address, or an FQDN. If you create a UM IP gateway using an FQDN, you must create the appropriate HOST A records in your DNS forward lookup zone. If the DNS configuration for the UM IP gateway is changed, you must disable and then enable the UM IP gateway to make sure that its configuration information is updated correctly.

For additional management tasks related to UM IP gateways, see UM IP Gateway Procedures.

What do you want to do?

Use the EAC to configure the IP address on a UM IP gateway

  1. In the EAC, navigate to Unified Messaging > UM IP Gateways, select the UM IP gateway that you want to modify, and then click Edit Edit Icon.

  2. On the UM IP gateway page, in the Address box, enter the IP address for the VoIP gateway, IP PBX, or session border controller (SBC).

  3. Click Save to save your changes.

Important:
If you use an FQDN instead of an IP address on the UM IP gateway, verify that the correct DNS records have been created.

Use the Shell to configure the IP address on a UM IP gateway

This example configures a UM IP gateway named MyUMIPGateway with an IP address of 10.10.10.1.

Copy Code
Set-UMIPGateway -Identity MyUMIPGateway -Address 10.10.10.1

This example configures a UM IP gateway named MyUMIPGateway with an IP address of 10.10.10.10 and listens for SIP requests on TCP port 5061.

Copy Code
Set-UMIPGateway -Identity MyUMIPGateway -Address 10.10.10.10 -Port 5061

This example prevents the UM IP gateway named MyUMIPGateway from accepting incoming and outgoing calls, sets an IPv6 address, and allows the UM IP gateway to use IPv4 and IPV6 addresses.

Copy Code
Set-UMIPGateway -Identity MyUMIPGateway -Address fe80::39bd:88f7:6969:d223%11 -IPAddressFamily Any -Status Disabled -OutcallsAllowed $false
