Description

 

 

Port Range

In this example port number 1037 has not been

Definitions

allocated, as the starting range for audio and video

(cont.)

port allocation has to be an even number. If an odd

 

number is entered an error message appears to

 

remind you of this requirement.

 

Note: You can allocate the same port number to

 

different channels provided the numbers are in two

 

different protocols; one is in TCP and the other is in

 

UDP. For example you can allocate port numbers

 

2000-2009 to the Signaling channel in TCP and

 

ports 2000 -2002 to the Audio channel in UDP.

 

 

Signaling [TCP]

Define the ports used for transferring call setup

 

messages. After you enter the first port in the range,

 

the system automatically fills in the last port in the

 

range according to the total number of calls.

 

 

Control [TCP]

Define the ports used for control messages (setup,

 

maintenance, and teardown of sessions). After you

 

enter the first port in the range, the system

 

automatically fills in the last port in the range.

 

 

Audio [UDP],

Define the ports used for audio and video channels.

Video [UDP]

After you enter the first port in the range, the system

 

automatically fills in the last port in the range.

 

 

Data [TCP]

Define the ports used for transferring data packets:

 

file transfer, whiteboard, and application sharing.

 

The recommended port range is 49152 to 65535.

 

After you enter the first port in the range, the system

 

automatically fills in the last port in the range

 

according to the total number of calls.

 

 

FECC [UDP]

Define the ports used for FECC. After you enter the

 

first port in the range, the system automatically fills

 

in the last port in the range.
