Notes Regarding On Demand Archive

The UDP ports used for on demand archives are randomly chosen. There are two ways to configure firewalls and Windows Media Player for usage with RSS 2000 on demand archives.

1Open an outbound UDP port range matching what is used by Windows Media Player, or open all UDP ports outbound from RSS 2000 to effectively bypass the firewall for outbound traffic. Also open the port range used by Windows Media Player for inbound traffic to the viewing PC. This range is configurable in Windows Media Player, as seen in Figure 1 (Windows Media Player defaults shown). The user can check RTSP/UDP, check ‘Use ports’ and define the port range.

2Disable UDP connections in Windows Media Player to force a TCP-only connection. This configuration utilizes only TCP port 554. As seen in Figure 2, unchecking RTSP/UDP removes the user’s ability to specify a port range and forces all connections to use TCP 554 only.
