IVS – Configure Port Forwarding for Remote Access

Introduction

The Infinity Video Server is tpyically deployed within the customers’ corporate network but may not be co-located with the customer’s InfinityOne system.  Therefore, understanding the ports used for different types of traffic between the InfinityOne system, the Infinity Video Server, and the users inside and outside the custoemr network is important for ensuring the appropriate traffic can pass from one network segment to another.

This document focuses on the steps necessary to enable support for video functionality, accessing the Video Conferencing interface, the the Web-based Configuration Utility, and SSH access (if required) from the internet across the customer router.

Port Forwarding Requirements

In order to enable access to your Infinity Video Server from the public network, you should configure your router to forward the following ports to the IP address of your  Infinity Video Server:

Rule Name
Port Number
Port Type
Secure Web Server (HTTPS)443TCP
Web Server (HTTP)80TCP
SSH22TCP
Conference HTTPS8443TCP
Room Info Endpoint5280TCP
Websocket9090TCP
Private Video Bridge8080TCP
Video Bridge3481UDP
   

You should also make sure that the video server has external access to both HTTPS (TCP 443) and DNS (UDP 53) in order to retrieve licensing and software updates and resolve any additional URLs as required.
