Table 3-27: Fixed Ports & NAT Dialog Box Options (Continued)
Field Description
Notes : For a complete port configuration you define both the fixed ports
(signaling, media, etc.) and the relevant reserved ports. Make sure that the
following IANA registered ports reserved for system services have been opened
as part of your firewall’s definitions:
•
Port # 1720 – H.323 standard signaling port
•
Port # 1719 – H.323 gatekeeper port
•
Port # 1503 – T.120 port for incoming connections
•
Port # 5060 –SIP standard signaling port
Entering a well-known port that the IANA has reserved for other applications in
your configuration is not allowed as it would result in system service failure. It is
highly recommended to use ports from the dynamic range defined by IANA.
