Network

Communication between the Deep Freeze Enterprise Console and computers with Deep Freeze
installed can use two different modes: LAN Mode or LAN/WAN Mode.
• LAN: Select LAN to configure Deep Freeze to communicate within a Local Area Network
(LAN). LAN mode is a self-configuring mode that requires only a port number. The default
port is 7725. The port number can be changed if it is in conflict with other programs on the
LAN. In LAN mode, the Deep Freeze target computer and the Enterprise Console find each
other through UDP broadcasts. These broadcasts only occur when computer or the Enterprise
Console is started, ensuring that there is little network traffic associated with target computer
and Console communication.
• LAN/WAN: Select LAN/WAN to configure Deep Freeze to communicate in both a LAN and a
WAN (wide area network). LAN/WAN can be used in either a LAN or WAN environment and
over the Internet. This mode uses an IP address or the computer name, along with a port
number, to allow communication between the Enterprise Console and the managed
computers.
The following two methods are available to identify the Console:
• specify the Console IP, which must be static
• specify the Console Name, in which case the IP can be dynamic
