Calls cannot be established to UM for external users

I have faced a problem when integrating Lync with Exchange 2010 UM , where calls could not be established to UM for external users, whenever i call the susbscriber access from the Internet i get the following error:

"call failed due to network issues. try logging out of lync logging back in, or try again later"

After revewing the logs, i found the following entry in the event viewer on the Lync front-end server :

Event ID: 1400 Source: MSExchange Unified Messaging

The following UM IP gateways did not respond as expected to a SIP OPTIONS request.

Transport = TLS, Address = lyncfe.domain.com, Port = 5061, Response Code = 0, Message = This operation has timed out.

Solution:
Issue a certificate dedicated to UM, where the subject name is the FQDN of the UM server.

No static address matched networks "Cluster Network Name" . Specified static addresses: x.x.x.x

While I was working on a DAG with separate MAPI and Replication Networks whenever I make any changes to DAG like running start-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup or Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup I get the following warning message: "No static address matched networks "Cluster Network ". Specified static addresses: x.x.x.x". The Cluster Network was the Replication Network whose subnet is different than that of the DAG IP addresses. Seems that Exchange wanted to utilize this network for MAPI traffic. Although When I run the command get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetwork I find that MAPIEnabled is false on the replication network. when I compared the cluster networks of this DAG with another healthy DAG I found that the checkbox "allow clients to connect through this network" was checked. when I uncheck it, it gets checked by itself again !. The reason was that one of the DAG members had the "register this connection's address in dns" che...
