Configure the listening port in Exchange Server
Applies to: Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016
You can configure the TCP port that's used to listen for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) requests on a Unified Messaging (UM) IP gateway. By default, when you create a UM IP gateway, the TCP SIP listening port number is set to 5060. The TCP SIP listening port can't be configured or changed by using the EAC. You must configure the TCP SIP listening port number by using the Set-UMIPGateway cmdlet.
You may have to configure the TCP listening port number to 5061 if you want to:
Set the VoIP security setting on a UM dial plan to SIP Secured.
Set the VoIP security setting on a UM dial plan to Secured.
Integrate with Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 or Microsoft Lync Server.
Use mutual Transport Layer Security (mutual TLS) to encrypt network data between Exchange servers and a VoIP gateway, Private Branch eXchange (PBX) enabled for SIP, IP PBX, or session border controller (SBC).
If you want to use mutual TLS between a UM IP gateway and a dial plan operating in either SIP Secured or Secured mode, when you create the UM IP gateway you must configure it with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and then use the Shell to configure the UM IP gateway to listen on TCP port 5061. You must also verify that any VoIP gateways, PBXs enabled for SIP, IP PBXs, and SBCs have also been configured to listen for mutual TLS requests on port 5061.
Important
When you create a UM IP gateway using an FQDN, you must create the appropriate HOST (A) records in your DNS forward lookup zone. If you create a UM IP gateway using an FQDN, and the DNS configuration for the UM IP gateway is changed, you must disable and then enable the UM IP gateway to make sure that the UM IP gateway's configuration information is updated correctly.
For additional management tasks related to UM IP gateways, see UM IP gateway procedures.

Use the Shell to configure the TCP listening port
This example configures a UM IP gateway named MyUMIPGateway that has an FQDN of mTLS.MyUMIPGateway.contoso.com and listens for SIP requests on TCP port 5061.
Set-UMIPGateway -Identity MyUMIPGateway -Address mTLS.MYUMIPGateway.contoso.com -Port 5061
This example configures a UM IP gateway named MyUMIPGateway that has an FQDN of SIPSecured.MyUMIPGateway.contoso.com and listens for SIP requests on TCP port 5061.
Set-UMIPGateway -Identity MyUMIPGateway -Address SIPSecured.MyUMIPGateway.contoso.com -Port 5061
This example configures a UM IP gateway named MyUMIPGateway that has an FQDN of MyOCSUMIPGateway.contoso.com and listens for SIP requests on TCP port 5061.
Set-UMIPGateway -Identity MyUMIPGateway -Address MyOCSUMIPGateway.contoso.com -Port 5061
