Configuring the System for Use with a Firewall or NAT

A firewall protects an organization’s IP network by controlling data traffic from outside the network. Unless the firewall is designed to work with H.323 video conferencing equipment, you must configure the system and the firewall to allow video conferencing traffic to pass in and out of the network.

Firewall Settings

Network Address Translation (NAT) network environments use private internal IP addresses for devices within the network, while using one external IP address to allow devices on the LAN to communicate with other devices outside the LAN. If your system is connected to a LAN that uses a NAT, you will need to enter the NAT Public (WAN) Address so that your system can communicate outside the LAN.

To set up the system to work with a firewall or NAT:

1Go to System > Admin Settings > Network > IP > Firewall.
