Configuring SIP ports on the SIP Edge Proxy server

To set up ports for the IBM® SIP Edge Proxy server, you need to determine the SIP ports used for the Sametime® SIP Proxy/Registrar and ensure that the IBM SIP Edge Proxy listens on these same ports. Complete the procedure to locate the Sametime SIP Proxy/Registrar ports in a stand-alone environment or in a cluster, according to your deployment. Complete only one of the two procedures. After completing that procedure, complete the procedure to change the SIP Edge Proxy SIP ports.

Locate the Sametime SIP Proxy/Registrar ports in a stand-alone environment

Procedure

  1. In the WebSphere® Integrated Solutions Console, log in as the WebSphere administrator to the deployment manager that manages the IBM SIP Edge Proxy Server.
  2. Click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers.
  3. In a stand-alone environment, click STMediaServer.
  4. In the Communications section, click Ports.
  5. Review the Ports table and make note of the following port settings for use in the procedure Change the IBM SIP Edge Proxy SIP ports:
    SIP_ProxyRegHOST
SIP_ProxyReg_SECURE
    Note: Be sure to write down the port numbers because you need to use them later.
  6. Select both ports, that is, the port for the SIP_ProxyRegHOST and the port for the SIP_ProxyReg_SECURE.
  7. Click Delete.
  8. Save the changes to the master configuration by clicking the Save link in the "Messages" box at the beginning of the page.

Locate the Sametime SIP Proxy/Register ports in a clustered environment
