Manage UM settings on a Mailbox server in Exchange Server
Applies to: Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016
After you install a Mailbox server that is running the Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging service, you can configure several options, including the number of concurrent calls, the TCP and Transport Layer Security (TLS) listening ports, the status, and the UM startup mode.
Important
It's not required that Mailbox servers be added to a UM dial plan before it can process calls for Unified Messaging (UM), except when you're integrating UM and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 or Microsoft Lync Server. By default, all Mailbox servers in an organization are available to answer incoming calls.
For additional management tasks related to Unified Messaging and Mailbox servers, see UM services procedures.
