As you begin the configuration, keep the following deployment guidelines in mind:

Vidyo utilizes SSH to provide remote access to the System Administrator Console on your
Vidyo server over port 22 or 2222. In addition, Vidyo Customer Support may request access to
your Vidyo server over this same port in order to assist in troubleshooting any of your customer
issues.
 When setting up your Vidyo server, always be sure to configure your firewall to only permit SSH
access from authorized networks and users. You can restrict Vidyo Customer Support SSH
access by configuring your firewall or contact Vidyo Customer Support for other options.
 Restrict access to your VidyoGateway Admin portal by performing one of the following:
Block HTTP/HTTPS access from untrusted networks including the Internet.

Move the VidyoGateway Admin portal to the Management Interface (if you have not yet

configured your Management Interface, it must be configured at this time).
For more information, see
 Change your VidyoGateway System Administrator Console default password. This must be
changed after the first log in. For more information, see the following procedure.
 Configure the network settings at the System Console. You can view the settings (read-only) in
the VidyoGateway Admin pages.
Note The screenshots in this section show the System Admin Console (also known as the Shell
menu) as seen after logging in via the terminal. The menu may look slightly different
depending on how you connect and what tool you use for your connection.
