Appendix A: Configuring Your Firewall

Firewalls on your computer can often cause connection problems for network devices like Squeezebox Boom. While it is not necessary to disable your firewall in order to allow Squeezebox to communicate with your computer, temporarily disabling it can be a quick way of diagnosing the problem. If turning off your computer’s firewall allows Squeezebox Boom to connect to SqueezeCenter, you should turn it back on and configure it to allow communication on the following ports:

•Port 3483 (UDP)

•Port 3483 (TCP)

•Port 9000 (TCP)

Detailed instructions for configuring various firewalls can be found at www.logitech.com, under Support Troubleshooting. Select Wireless Music Systems from the list of product categories.

Note: It is not necessary, or even desirable, to change the firewall settings on your router to use Squeezebox Boom. Consult a network professional if you are unsure of how to configure your network properly.
