Front End Script Properties

Use this tab to add, edit, or remove a Microsoft SIP Processing Language (MSPL) script-only application on this server. You can also move an application up or down in the list to change its priority, enable or disable it, or specify it as critical.

Available scripts

Lists the script-only applications that are available on this server, shows whether they are running, and displays the uniform resource identifier (URI) for each one. The applications run in the order they are listed.

• ClientVersionFilter provides the administrator with a way to specify the version of clients that are supported by a pool. The client version filter checks the client version and can then either prevent the client from logging on or present the user with a message that indicates he or she is using a client that is not supported. The client version filter can also be configured to display a message to the user that contains the URL of the latest downloadable version of the client.

• TranslationService translates a number that a user dials to an E.164 number according to the normalization rules defined by the administrator.

• UserServices is the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) registrar, presence, and conferencing component of a Front End Server. It provides closely integrated instant messaging (IM), presence, and conferencing features built on top of the SIP proxy.

• IIMFilter (Intelligent IM URL Filter) blocks messages that contain clickable URLs or that attempt to initiate file transfers. IIMFilter also checks the client version on behalf of the server. IIMFilter affects both file transfers that are initiated by using either Office Communicator or the Live Meeting 2007 client. By default, clickable links are disabled by adding an underscore character before the first character of the link. An administrator can change this behavior so that the link is blocked, in which case messages that contain clickable URLs or that attempt to initiate a file transfer are blocked by the server from reaching their intended destinations. IIMFilter is installed on all Office Communications Servers except Proxy Servers, Monitoring Servers, and Archiving Servers.

• UserPinService is the default personal identification number (PIN) authentication application for Office Communications Servers. The user PIN service authenticates users of dial-in conferencing by verifying the PIN and telephone number entered by the user when the user attempts to join a conference. It is enabled by default. The user PIN service is installed on all Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition servers.

• DefaultRouting is the default routing application for Office Communications Servers. It is enabled by default. The routing application is installed on all Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition servers.

• ExumRouting routes calls to Exchange Server Unified Messaging. ExumRouting determines the appropriate Exchange Unified Messaging server to route the call to when there is a new voice mail message to deposit. ExumRouting also handles some other Unified Messaging integration aspects, including routing to Unified Message auto attendant and subscriber access features.

• OutboundRouting determines the gateway that routes a call to a phone number according to the dialed number and the user's dialing authorization. OutboundRouting also handles rerouting of calls if a gateway cannot process a call.

Up

Moves the selected application one level up in the list of available applications. Moving an application up specifies that the application should run before the one below it.

Down

Moves the selected application one level down in the list of available applications. Moving an application down specifies that the application should run after the one above it.

Add

Click to add a script-only application.

Edit

Click to edit a script-only application.

Remove

Click to remove the selected script-only application.

Enabled

If selected, the selected application is enabled. To run an application, you must enable it.

Critical

If selected, the application must start during system startup, or Office Communications Server will not start. If the application fails while Office Communications Server is running, the server does not shut down, but it stops sending traffic to the application, and it writes errors in the event log.
