9. Configure the ports using the following options:
Primary TCP port By default, SMART Bridgit conferencing software uses port 80 as its
primary port. If your server is running another application that uses
port 80, you must assign SMART Bridgit conferencing software to an
unoccupied port. Configure your firewall to allow incoming and
outgoing TCP traffic on your chosen port.
Enable secondary
TCP port
By default, SMART Bridgit conferencing software uses port 9933. If
you want to use a different port, make sure it doesn't conflict with any
other applications running on the server computer.

N O T E
If your server is running another application that uses either of these
ports, you must assign SMART Bridgit software’s primary and
secondary ports to unoccupied ports. Configure your firewall to
allow incoming and outgoing TCP traffic on the chosen ports.
Enable UDP ports
(audio optimization)
Whenever possible, SMART Bridgit conferencing software uses UDP
for audio transmission to avoid the additional overhead of TCP in a
timing-sensitive situation. SMART strongly recommends that you
enable UDP to minimize audio lag in SMART Bridgit meetings. You
must open a range of UDP ports (9901 to 9920) on your firewall to use
this feature.

o
If you configure SMART Bridgit server software to use a TCP
port that isn’t the default, users must specify the port when
connecting to the server. For example, to connect to a
SMART Bridgit server on port 8080, users must type
server.company.com: 8080 .
o
A UDP port supports up to 10 participants with optimal
performance. By default, SMART Bridgit conferencing
software opens 20 UDP ports to allow approximately 200
concurrent participants. Open more ports to accommodate
more participants.
o
If your network uses a firewall, you must configure it to allow
incoming TCP and UDP traffic on these ports.
