Configure the Startup Mode on a UM Server
Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2
You can specify the startup mode for the Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging service on a Unified Messaging (UM) server. By default, the UM server will startup in TCP mode, but if you are using Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic you must configure the UM server to use TLS or Dual mode. A UM server can be added to UM dial plans that have different security settings. If the UM server has been added to dial plans with different security settings, you should select Dual mode. If you change the startup mode, you must restart the Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging service for the change to take effect
Important
When 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.

Use the EMC to configure the startup mode
You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "UM server" entry in the Unified Messaging Permissions topic.
In the console root, navigate to Server Configuration > Unified Messaging.
In the result pane, click to select the Unified Messaging server you want to set up.
In the action pane, click Properties.
On the UM Settings tab, in the Startup Mode drop-down list, select one of the following settings:
TCP Use this setting if the UM server is being added to only UM dial plans that are set to Unsecured but won't be added to dial plans that are set to SIP Secured or Secured. In TCP mode, the UM server will only listen on TCP port 5060 for SIP requests. By default, the UM server will startup in TCP only mode.
TLS Use this setting if the UM server is being added to UM dial plans that are set to SIP Secured or Secured but won't be added to dial plans that are set to Unsecured. In TLS mode, the UM server will only listen on TCP port 5061 for SIP requests.
Dual Use this setting if the UM server is being added to UM dial plans that have different security settings. In Dual mode, the UM server can listen on ports 5060 and 5061 simultaneously.
Note
If you change the startup mode, you must restart the Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging service for the change to take effect.
Click OK.
Use the Shell to configure the startup mode
You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "UM server" entry in the Unified Messaging Permissions topic.
This example sets the startup mode for a UM server named MyUMServer1
to Dual mode.
Set-UMServer -Identity MyUMServer1 -UMStartUpMode Dual
This example sets the startup mode for a UM server named MyUMServer1
to TCP mode.
Set-UMServer -Identity MyUMServer1 -UMStartUpMode TCP
