GUI Environment

The GUI is the Device interface (Graphical User Interface) used to manage the VersAtivePro transcoder, DigiVuII and DigiVuII
Micro encoders. In this manual these encoders and transcoders will be referred to as Devices since the GUI is common to
all three products.

1.2 Port Opening - Switch and Firewall

require the following ports to be opened both Inbound and Outbound.

1.2.1 Notes on Opening Fire Wall Port 1935 for Monitoring
Some firewalls reject traffic that doesn't use the HTTP protocol. This behavior can prevent communication over RTMP even
if port 1935 is open. Consult the documentation for the firewall to determine how to configure it to allow RTMP traffic. To use
RTMP and RTMFP, any switch or firewall between the server and clients must allow inbound and outbound traffic on port 1935.
If it is not possible to open port 1935 inbound and outbound then monitoring will not work. In this case it is best to disable
monitoring altogether within the GUI, see Figure 1-4.
The resource contains both the actual publish and the preview. When the preview can not connect the whole pipeline of the
stream will stop and retry and not publish. The events log will report "Cannot connect to RTMP server". The resource will show
"Resource is retrying" at the events tab. Disabling 'Preview' will prevent events from being detected when the streams cannot
connect during monitoring.
