Configure the System for Use with a Firewall or NAT
A firewall protects an organization's IP network by controlling data traffic from outside the network. Unless
the firewall is designed to work with H.323 video conferencing equipment, you must configure the system
and the firewall to allow video conferencing traffic to pass in and out of the network.
Network Address Translation (NAT) network environments use private internal IP addresses for devices
within the network, while using one external IP address to allow devices on the LAN to communicate with
other devices outside the LAN. If your system is connected to a LAN that uses a NAT, you will need to
enter the NAT Public (WAN) Address so that your system can communicate outside the LAN.
Procedure
1. Go to Admin Settings > Network > IP Network > Firewall.
2. Configure these settings.
