Real-time media streams often use UDP for their speeds. If your system is behind a firewall that restricts
access to UDP ports, however, you can configure your system for only TCP connections.
Caution: Systems deployed outside a firewall are potentially vulnerable to unauthorized access. Visit
the Polycom Security section of the Knowledge Base at
information. You can also register to receive periodic updates and advisories.

Security Certificates

If your organization has deployed a public key infrastructure (PKI) for securing connections between
devices on your network, Polycom recommends that you have a strong understanding of certificate
management and how it applies to your RealPresence Group Series system before you integrate these
products with the PKI.
