Chapter 7. Firewall and Client Configuration

Additional configuration for the firewall and the SIP clients is required to make the Telecommuting Module work properly. The amount and nature of the configuration depends on which Telecommuting Module Type was selected.

The DMZ type

Using the DMZ type, the network configuration should look like this:

The Firewall

The firewall to which the Telecommuting Module is connected should have the following configuration:

SIP over UDP

•Let through UDP traffic between the Internet (all high ports) and the Telecommuting Module (port 5060). You must allow traffic in both directions.

•Let through UDP traffic between the internal networks (all high ports) and the Telecommuting Module (port 5060). You must allow traffic in both directions.

•Let through UDP traffic between the Internet (all high ports) and the Telecommuting Module (the port interval for media streams which was set on the Basic page). You must allow traffic in both directions.

•Let through UDP traffic between the internal networks (all high ports) and the Telecommuting Module (the port interval for media streams which was set on the Basic page). You must allow traffic in both directions.

•Let through UDP traffic between the Telecommuting Module (all high ports) and the Internet (port 53). You must allow traffic in both directions. This enables the Telecommuting Module to make DNS queries to DNS servers on the Internet. If the DNS server is located on the same network as the Telecommuting Module, you don’t have to do this step.

•NAT between the Telecommuting Module and the Internet must not be used.

•NAT between the Telecommuting Module and the internal networks must not be used.

SIP over TCP/TLS

•Let through TCP traffic between the Internet (all high ports) and the Telecommuting Module (ports 1024-32767). You must allow traffic in both directions.

•Let through TCP traffic between the internal networks (all high ports) and the Telecommuting Module (ports 1024-32767). You must allow traffic in both directions.

•Let through UDP traffic between the Internet (all high ports) and the Telecommuting Module (the port interval for media streams which was set on the Basic page). You must allow traffic in both directions.

•Let through UDP traffic between the internal networks (all high ports) and the Telecommuting Module (the port interval for media streams which was set on the Basic page). You must allow traffic in both directions.

•Let through UDP traffic between the Telecommuting Module (all high ports) and the Internet (port 53). You must allow traffic in both directions. This enables the Telecommuting Module to make DNS queries to DNS servers on the Internet. If the DNS server is located on the same network as the Telecommuting Module, you don’t have to do this step.
