Configuring the Media Manager to use the TURN Server

Configure the IBM® Sametime® Media Manager to work with the Sametime TURN Server.

Before you begin

Ensure that you are familiar with the information in the topic Planning for Media Manager services.

About this task

On the Sametime System Console, configure the Media Manager to use the new TURN Server.

Set the Internal DNS to resolve the Sametime TURN Server host name to 0.0.0.0, so that internal users do not connect to the TURN Server. Internal users connect directly to the Sametime Video MCU.

For information about configuring the TURN Server and to view sample deployments, see the wiki article IBM TURN Server deployment and configuration.

Procedure

  1. On the server hosting the Sametime System Console, log in to the Integrated Solutions Console.
  2. Click Sametime System Console > Sametime Servers > Sametime Media Manager.
  3. In theSametime Media Managers list, click the deployment name of the Sametime Media Manager.
  4. Click the Configuration tab.
  5. Locate the "NAT Traversal" section at the end of the page.
  6. In the "TURN server" section, fill in one of the following, based on the protocol you are using:
    • UDP: Type the TURN Server's fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in the Turn Server UDP host name field (leave it set to "0.0.0.0" if you are not using this protocol).
    • TCP: Type the TURN Server's fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in the Turn Server TCP host name field (leave it set to "0.0.0.0" if you are not using this protocol).
  7. You can leave the other settings with their default values.
  8. Click OK.
  9. Restart the Sametime Media Manager (not the Sametime System Console) so these changes can take effect.
