TVU Receiver: Network and Firewall Configuration
TVU Networks recommends assigning a static IP address to the TVUPack receiver to
ensure the network configuration remains stable. All the incoming ports referred to in
this section are configurable. Please contact TVU Networks Customer Support if you
wish to use a configuration other than the one specified in this documentation.
Please configure your firewall or router as follows:
1.
Allow TCP outgoing from the TVU receiver on port 3970.
2.
Allow UDP/TCP outgoing from the TVU receiver on port 123.
3.
Permit all TCP/UDP incoming traffic for port 8088 to receiver.
4.
Forward all traffic arriving on port 8088 of the external firewall interface to the
IP address of the TVU Receiver.
This setup allows the TVUPack and receiver to automatically link with each other and
permit video transport.
Recommended firewall configuration for TeamViewer
TVU Networks uses TeamViewer software to enable remote support and
troubleshooting. To enable this software, please ensure that either port 80(TCP) or port
5938(TCP) are open for outbound connections.
Recommended firewall configuration for remote control of TVUPack receiver from
iPod or smartphone
The TVUPack hotspot feature allows remote configuration of the TVUPack receiver
settings from a smartphone. To enable this feature, permit all TCP/UDP incoming traffic
for port 8288 to receiving terminal; forward all traffic arriving on port 8288 of the
external firewall interface to the IP address of the TVU Receiver. This port is
configurable.
Recommended firewall configuration for the FTP server
This feature allows files to be uploaded to the FTP server in the Receiver. To enable this
feature, permit all TCP/UDP incoming traffic for port 21 to the receiving terminal;
forward all traffic arriving on port 21 of the external firewall interface to the IP address
of the TVU Receiver. This port is configurable.
Recommended firewall configuration for remote configuration of a TVUPack from the
receiver
A TVUPack and its modems can now be configured from a remote location. To enable
this feature, permit all TCP/UDP incoming traffic for port 22 to the receiving terminal;
forward all traffic arriving on port 22 of the external firewall interface to the IP address
of the TVU Receiver. This port is configurable.
