INTRODUCTION

A typical network configuration that includes a GW5000 gateway might include two firewalls: one at the Endura network (the private network or
LAN), and another at the client workstation from which a user is accessing the Endura Web client (the public network or WAN). Several ports
must be configured through the firewall software on the LAN and WAN so that users can view video properly. Failure to configure these ports
means that users will not be able to view video.

CONFIGURING THE LAN FIREWALL

On the LAN firewall you must open the incoming ports that are required to access the gateway from the WAN. On systems that restrict outbound
traffic, you must also open the outgoing ports so that video can be sent to the Web client. Opening ports manually is a three-step process:
1. Open ports through the LAN firewall software.
2. Forward the ports to the GW5000 gateway IP address.
3. Allow outgoing ports from the LAN to the WAN.
Refer to TableA and TableB for the list of ports that can be configured on the LAN and WAN firewalls.
You must configure enough Realtime Transport Protocol (RTP) ports to view the maximum number of video streams that the gateway will support
at your site. Video streams are transmitted on even ports beginning with the base port number defined on the Public Network Interface
configuration page in the Endura Web client. If a base port is not configured, the default port is 15000. If your site supports 32 streams, you must
configure a range of 64 ports. In this example, you would configure ports 15000–15064. If you configure a diffe rent port number, you must
configure the correct port range.
On systems that contain more than one gateway, the port range must be changed on each additional gateway. For example, if the first gateway
uses an RTP port range of 15000–15064, the second gateway must use a different port range (for example, 15074–15138). The additional port
numbers must be forwarded to the correct gateway.
