Configure VoIP Security on a UM Dial Plan
Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2
You can enable Voice over IP (VoIP) security for a Unified Messaging (UM) dial plan. By default, when a UM dial plan is created, it will use unsecured mode or no encryption. A Unified Messaging server can be associated with a single or multiple UM dial plans and can be associated with dial plans that have different VoIP security settings.
When you configure the UM dial plan to use Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) secured or secured mode, the Unified Messaging servers that are associated with the UM dial plan will encrypt the SIP signaling traffic or the Realtime Transport Protocol (RTP) media channels and the SIP signaling traffic.
Important
When Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 is installed, static Windows Firewall rules are added for Exchange. If you change the TCP ports that are used by the Unified Messaging server role, you may also need to reconfigure the Windows Firewall rules to allow Unified Messaging to work correctly.
