Fixed Ports

Leave this check box cleared if you are defining a Network Service for

 

local calls that do not require configuring the firewall to accept calls

 

from external entities. When cleared, the system uses the default port

 

range and allocates 4 RTP and 4 RTCP ports for media channels

 

(Audio, Video, Content and FECC).

 

Note: When ICE Environment is enabled, 8 additional ports are

 

allocated to each call.

TCP Port from - to

Displays the default settings for port numbers used for signaling and

 

control.

 

To modify the number of TCP ports, enter the first and last port

 

numbers in the range.

 

The number of ports is calculated as follows:

 

Number of simultaneous calls x 2 ports (1 signaling + 1 control).

 

 

UDP Port from - to

Displays the default settings for port numbers used for audio and

 

video.

 

To modify the number of UDP ports:

 

In MPM Card Configuration Mode:

 

Enter the first and last port numbers in the range.

 

The number of ports is calculated as follows:

 

Number of simultaneous calls x 8 ports (2 audio, 2 video, 2

 

Content and 2 FECC).

 

In MPM+/MPMx Card Configuration Mode:

 

Enter the first and last port numbers in the range, and the range

 

must be 1024 ports.

 

When ICE environment is enabled, the range must be 2048 ports.

 

 

If the network administrator does not specify an adequate port range, the system will accept the settings and issue a warning. Calls will be rejected when the RMX’s ports are exceeded.
