3. Configuring the Firewall

There are three ways to deploy the TM-800/1000 and TS-700/900:

1. Outside the Firewall

2. Inside the Firewall and Accessible by Users outside Firewall

3. Inside the Firewall and not Accessible by Users outside Firewall

Depending on the deployment, you may or may not need to configure your firewall.

3.1. Behind Firewall and Accessible by Users outside Firewall

This deployment (Figure 3.1) is most popular and it is typically done by connecting the TM-

800/1000 and TS-700/900 with the DMZ port of your router. You can also place the TM-800/1000

and TS-700/900 anywhere on your LAN.

In order for external users to access your appliance, you need to open the inbound TCP ports:

80, 443 and 8889 on your firewall/router and forward the inbound TCP traffic on these ports to

the corresponding ports of the local IP address of your RHUB appliance.

ure 3.1 Inside Firewall and Accessible by Users outside Firewall

If you are using a SOHO or home router, opening inbound ports and doing port forwarding are

fairly easy. For example, in a LinkSys router, you usually look for the “Applications” link. In a

Belkin router, you look for the “Virtual Servers” link. After clicking the link, you will see a page

similar to Figure 2.2. Fill in the three TCP ports (80, 443 and 8889) and your RHUB appliance

local IP address. The firewall configuration is done.

In Figure 3.2, the “Private IP address” is the RHUB appliance’s local IP address, which you define

when you configure the meeting server IP settings; the “Inbound port” may be called “Source

port”; the “Private port” may be called “Destination port”. You can input anything in the

“Description” field. Don’t forget to check the “Enable” fields.
