Configuring a Standard Edition server or Front End Server in an Enterprise pool requires specifying the addresses, ports, and transports that this server uses for inbound connections.
To add or edit an incoming
connection for a Standard Edition server or Front End Server in an
Enterprise pool
-
Open the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 snap-in.
-
In the console tree, expand the forest node, and then do one of the following:
- For an Enterprise pool, expand
Enterprise pools, expand the pool, expand
Front Ends, right-click the Front End Server that you want
to configure, and then click
Properties.
- For a Standard Edition server, expand
Standard Edition servers, expand the pool, right-click the
server, click
Properties, and then click
Front End Properties.
- For an Enterprise pool, expand
Enterprise pools, expand the pool, expand
Front Ends, right-click the Front End Server that you want
to configure, and then click
Properties.
-
On the Generaltab, in Connections, do one of the following:
- To remove a connection, click the connection, and then click
Remove.
- To temporarily disable a connection, clear the check box next
to the connection.
- To add an address to the list of connections, click
Add.
- To change the configuration of an address in the list of
connections, click the connection, and then click
Edit.
- To remove a connection, click the connection, and then click
Remove.
-
If you are adding or editing a connection, in the Add Connectionor Edit Connectiondialog box, in Listening Address Settings, specify the appropriate connection information:
-
IP address. In the list, click the IP address associated
with the Front End Server or, if you do not want to use a specific
IP address for this connection, click
All. The default is
All, which is recommended if IP addresses in your
environment are assigned dynamically or if your environment uses
the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to refer to the server
instead of the IP address.
-
Port. Type the number of the port you want to use to listen
to the incoming connection. This is the port on which the Front End
Server receives SIP messages. By default, the conventional SIP
ports are used.
-
Transport. In the list, click the transport protocol to be
used for incoming messages, including sending messages to the Front
End Server over this connection. Specifying TLS or MTLS rather than
TCP allows encrypted communications with this server, helping make
connections to this server more secure.
You can configure multiple listening addresses, but in order to avoid conflicts, you can configure only one for each transport type. When you configure a new listening address, ensure that you choose a port that is not already in use on the computer.
-
IP address. In the list, click the IP address associated
with the Front End Server or, if you do not want to use a specific
IP address for this connection, click
All. The default is
All, which is recommended if IP addresses in your
environment are assigned dynamically or if your environment uses
the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to refer to the server
instead of the IP address.
-
In Connections, ensure that the check box of each connection that you want to use is selected, and then click OK.
