Configuring the Listening Address for Web Conferencing Servers

Use the Generaltab of the Web Components Propertiesdialog box to configure the listening address for the Web Conferencing Server. This is the address to which users and the Web Conferencing Edge Servers connect. Configuring the listening address includes configuring the following:

The IP address. This is the IP address that is associated with the Web Conferencing Server. The default is All, which is recommended if IP addresses in your environment are assigned dynamically or if your environment will use the FQDN to refer to the Web Conferencing Server.
The media listening port. This is the port on which the Web Conferencing Server receives media.

A listening address is a combination of the IP address and port on which a server can receive inbound connections. You can create multiple listening address combinations for the server, but each combination must be different.

To configure the listening address for a Web Conferencing Server

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, right-click the server, click Properties, and then click Web Conferencing Properties.
- For a Standard Edition server, expand Standard Edition servers, expand the pool, right-click the server, click Properties, and then click Web Conferencing Properties.
Click the Generaltab.
To select the address or addresses to which users and Web Conferencing Edge Servers connect, under Settings, in the IP addressdrop-down list box, click the IP address you want to use. To include all IP addresses for the FQDN, click All.
In Media listening port, type the port number to which you want the Web Conferencing Edge Server and users to connect. If you change this port number, ensure that you also change the corresponding setting on the Web Conferencing Edge Server internal interface.
