Configuring UM IP Gateways & UM Hunt Groups

Configuring UM IP Gateways

You are required to create an IP gateway when you don't use OCS 2007 R2 in your environment and want to connect directly Exchange 2010 UM to your IP PBX or IP gateway. If you use OCS 2007 R2, the task of creating an IP gateway per OCS Pool will be done by the ExchUCUtil.ps1 script.


To create an UM IP gateway, you need the following information:
§  The name of the UM IP gateway
§  The IP address or FQDN of the IP gateway or IP PBX that you want to connect to
§  The UM dial plan the UM IP gateway will serve

To create a UM IP gateway, you can use the New-IPGateway cmdlet in the EMS or use the EMC as shown in Figure 1.

Configuring UM Hunt Groups

For every UM IP gateway you also need at least one UM hunt group. To create a UM hunt group you need the following information:
§  Name of the UM hunt group
§  The pilot identifier for this UM hunt group
§  The UM dial plan the UM hunt group is part of

You can create the UM hunt group in the EMC, as shown in Figure 2, or you can use the New-UMHuntGroup cmdlet.

UM IP Gateways | Planning for Unified Messaging

A UM IP gateway is a logical representation of a physical IP gateway hardware device that translates between the circuit-switched telephone network and an IP or packet-switched network. This represents either a VoIP gateway or an IP PBX.

The UM IP gateway contains one or more UM hunt groups and other UM IP gateway-configuration settings, including the actual IP gateway. The combination of the IP gateway object and a UM hunt group establishes a logical link between an IP gateway hardware device and a UM dial plan.
Note 
Before an IP gateway can process calls, a UM IP gateway must be associated with at least one UM dial plan.

You can create a UM IP gateway using the Exchange Management Shell (EMS) or Exchange Management Console (EMC). When you create a new UM IP gateway, you enable UM servers to connect to the VoIP gateway or IP PBX. However, you can enable or disable the UM IP gateway. You can disable a UM IP gateway in two different modes:
  • Disable After Completing Calls Forces UM servers associated with this UM IP gateway to stop handling any new calls.
  • Disable Immediately Forces all associated UM servers to drop existing calls for this UM IP gateway.
