To support Web Conferencing, you need to specify the Web Conferencing Edge service where your internal Web Conferencing Server is to send external Web conferencing traffic to external users and receive inbound Web conferencing traffic originating from outside the intranet.
During deployment of your Edge Servers, if you completed the Configure Server or Pool Wizard and configured your Enterprise pool or Standard Edition server for external user access, the routing should have been automatically configured. If you want to change the settings, you can use the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 snap-in to view or update the settings for the Web Conferencing Edge service or add or remove a service.
Use the following procedures to configure routing of outbound traffic to a Web Conferencing Edge service, including the following:
- Specify the internal and external FQDNs of the Web Conferencing
Edge service.
- Specify the ports used to communicate with the Web Conferencing
Edge service. The same ports are used for all Web Conferencing Edge
services of an Enterprise pool or Standard Edition server.
To specify the internal and
external FQDNs of the Web Conferencing Edge service
-
Open the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 snap-in.
-
In the console tree, do one of the following:
- For an Enterprise pool, expand
Enterprise pools, expand the pool, right-click
Web Conferencing, and then click
Properties.
- For a Standard Edition server, expand
Standard Edition servers, right-click the pool, click
Properties, and then click
Web Conferencing Properties.
- For an Enterprise pool, expand
Enterprise pools, expand the pool, right-click
Web Conferencing, and then click
Properties.
-
Click the Web Conferencing Edge Servertab, and then do one or more of the following:
- To add a Web Conferencing Edge service, click
Add. In the
Add Web Conferencing Edge Server FQDNdialog box, type the
internal FQDN and the external FQDN for the service that you want
to add, and then click
OK.
- To edit an existing Web Conferencing Edge service, click the
service name, and then click
Edit. Under
Web Conferencing Edge Server FQDNs, modify the internal FQDN
and the external FQDN, as appropriate, and then click
OK.
- To remove a Web Conferencing Edge service, click the name of
the service you want to remove, and then click

The default is 443.
- In
Internal port, type the internal port number that is used by
the Web Conferencing Edge service. Internal servers use this port
