Setting up the outbound proxy on the Video Manager

Setting up the outbound proxy on the IBM® Sametime® Video Manager redirects all SIP INVITE messages to the Sametime Video MCU through the SIP Proxy/Registrar.

About this task

To define the Video Manager as an outbound proxy server, you must create a JVM custom property. In a clustered Video Manager environment, create this property on every node in the cluster.

Procedure

  1. On the Sametime Video Manager, log in to the WebSphere® Integrated Solutions Console as the administrator.
  2. In the navigation tree, click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers.
  3. In the table of application servers, click the name of the Video Manager server you want to modify.
  4. On the Configuration tab, in the Server Infrastructure section, click Java and Process Management > Process definition.
  5. In the "Additional properties" section, click Java Virtual Machine.
  6. A new Configuration tab displays. In the "Additional properties" section, click Custom properties.
  7. Click New and enter the following information:
    • Name: proximo.vmrb2b.outboundproxy
    • Value: Enter the fully qualified host name of the load balancer that sits in front of the SIP Proxy/Registrar cluster, enter a colon, the port number/tcpload_balancer_host:port_number/transport_protocol

      For example, sippr.example.com:5060/tcp

      Note: Enter the transport protocol value in lower case characters; for example: tcp, tls. The transport protocol value is case sensitive.
    • Description: Outbound Proxy Setting for BWM
  8. Click OK.
  9. Click the Save link in the "Messages" box at the beginning of the page.
  10. Repeat this procedure for each Video Manager node.
  11. Synchronize the nodes in the cluster:
    1. Click System Administration > Nodes.
    2. Select both nodes, and then click Full Resynchronization.
  12. Restart all Media Manager nodes, including the Sametime Bandwidth Managers.
