Requirements for Configuring

Check with your firewall administrator to determine how your firewall is set up before you configure Avaya CT.

■DLG Administration — use standard procedures for both the MAPD DLG and the Co-Resident DLG, and administer the DLG to point to the IP Address of the Avaya CT server.

■G3PD Administration — use standard procedures.

■Firewall Administration — port 5678 must be open to allow traffic between the Avaya CT server and the DLG.

Option 2: If your firewall manages ports and IP addresses

If your firewall’s IP address acts as a proxy IP address, the Avaya CT configuration requirements are as follows. (See Figure 2-5 on page 2-16)

■DLG Administration — use standard procedures for both the MAPD DLG and the Co-Resident DLG, and administer the DLG to point to the IP Address of firewall.
