After the Wave IP 2500 is installed and Wave workstation applications are installed on users'
PCs, the firewall settings on those systems are automatically updated so that Wave can operate
properly on most networks. These changes are made because Wave will not work properly with
the default Windows Firewall settings for the versions of Windows listed above.
Without these modifications to the default Windows Firewall settings, Wave applications cannot
communicate over a network. If necessary, you can tailor these modifications to match your
unique network configuration and security requirements, as described later in this Appendix.

The Windows Firewall is designed to protect Windows from unwanted network access,
including potentially hostile viruses. Left unchanged, these security measures also prevent
Wave workstation applications from receiving requests from the Wave IP 2500, for example a
request to display a new call in the ViewPoint Call Monitor.
To enable necessary communication between Wave components, Wave adds several entries to
the Firewall Exceptions List on all Wave systems running these versions of Windows. Each
Wave workstation PC is updated as soon as a Wave application on it runs for the first time after
installation or upgrade.
Any PC where a Wave workstation application has been installed that is running
Windows Vista, Windows XP SP2, or Windows Server 2003 SP1 or higher.
The Wave IP 2500. All Wave IP 2500s ship with a version of Windows Server 2003
installed. (Windows Vista and Windows XP are not supported on the Wave IP 2500.)
