3. Setting up PIN Authentication policy
You can manage PIN Authentication options via the PIN Policies. To set options for authentication from IP
phones you can either edit the Global policy or create your own. For convenience, we will create a new policy
and apply it to the users who will connect to the Lync Server from IP phones.
To create a new PIN policy, in the Lync Server Control Panel click Security, and then click PIN Policy tab. In
accordance with your company security requirements, select the options for the new PIN policy.
It is not recommended that you select Enable PIN expiration option because user login and PIN are
permanently stored in the IP phone settings and are not used by the user regularly.

To assign created PIN Authentication policy to the users, click Users in the left navigation bar of Lync Server
Control Panel. Then select one or multiple users and click Action in the toolbar, and then click Assign policies.
Select the name of previously created policy in the PIN policy drop-down list.
After you set up PIN authentication policy, you can create user PINs in the Kinnex Media Gateway Control
Panel. New user PINs will be created on the Lync Server automatically.

4. Preparing to installing Kinnex Media Gateway
Kinnex Media Gateway can be installed on a stand-alone server, or collocated with one of the Lync Server
roles. You can view the description of the deployment topologies at http://www.kinnex.net/features/ (see the
Reference Topologies tab).
Depending on the deployment scenario, you must allocate enough system resources for Kinnex Media
Gateway and Lync Server to work stable. The system requirements are available at
http://www.kinnex.net/features/ (see the System requirements tab).
Configuring TLS on Windows Server 2012 R2
When Lync Server 2013 Front End servers are installed in Windows Server 2012 R2, you must configuring TLS
session parameters. For more information, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2901554/en-us.
To configure TLS sessions, on all computers that are hosting Lync Server 2013 Front End servers open the
Registry editor (run regedit in the Windows shell) and add to the Schannel registry subkey new value:
Subkey
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\Schannel
Key
EnableSessionTicket
DWORD (32-bit)
Value
0x0002
Run consecutively the following Lync Server PowerShell cmdlets to restart Lync Server services:
Stop-CsWindowsService
Start-CsWindowsService
Installing Lync Server Administrative Tools
After you select deployment topology for Kinnex Media Gateway, you need to install Lync Server
Administrative Tools from the Lync Server distribution kit. For details about installation, see the Install Lync
Server Administrative Tools page at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398665.aspx.
IP Address Allocation
You must assign at least one dedicated (not used by other VoIP services) IP address for Kinnex Media Gateway
services. When Kinnex Media Gateway is collocated with one of the Lync Server roles, we recommend
installing an additional network interface if a large number of IP phones connected to corporate network. In
the low loaded telephony networks, you can assign one additional IP address to the existing network interface.
