.
The settings on this tab determine which IP addresses will be allowed to send network
requests to the Wave workstation PCs. You only need to specify the VAM’s IP address on
your Wave Server, which you can do in several ways.
•
If you have a single Wave Server, click
Server IP Address
to automatically enter it.
•
If you have multiple Wave Servers, enter the VAM’s IP address for each one, so that
any Wave workstation PC can connect to any Wave Server. Separate each IP
address with a comma and no space.
Important:
If a VAM’s IP address ever changes (for example, your VAM is using
DHCP—which is NOT recommended) you must update this setting in order for the Wave
workstation applications to continue to be able to connect.

How updated Windows Firewall exceptions are applied
Once you save changes that you make to the Windows Firewall settings on the Wave ISM (as
described in the previous section), the next time any workstation application starts and connects
to the Wave ISM, it reads the Security \ Workstation Firewall settings and modifies that
workstation PC’s Windows Firewall Exception List to match those settings.
For example, if you entered 192.168.114.20 in the Custom List (the VAM’s fixed IP address),
then as soon as ViewPoint starts on a workstation PC, that PC's Windows Firewall is opened to
DCOM traffic from 192.168.114.20 so it can receive events from the Wave Server.
If you save changes while one or more Wave workstation applications are in an active session,
the new settings will not be applied until the applications are restarted.
Note the following:
•
Restarting the Wave Server forces all Wave workstation applications except the TAPI
Service Provider to restart.
•
To restart the TAPI Service Provider, you must restart the affected workstation PC.
