2Click the Add button.

The Add Static Routes dialog box opens.

3In the Matching URI section, enter the Domain name for the Collaboration Server. Any domain

name can be used.

4In the Next hop section enter the Collaboration Server FQDN name as defined in the DNS and is

used in the Host Authorization definition.

5In the Transport field, select TLS to enable the dial-out from conferences to SIP endpoints.

6Click OK.

The new Route is added to the list of routes in the Front End Properties—Routes dialog box.

7Click OK.

Setting the Static Route & Trusted Host for Collaboration Server in the Load Balancer Server (Optional)

If your network includes a Load Balancer server, the Collaboration Server unit must be configured as a

trusted host in the Load Balancer server in the same way it is configured in the OCS. In addition, Static

Routes must also be defined in the Load Balancer server in the same way it is configured in the OCS,
