Firewall Considerations
Most hardware firewalls and routers will automatically open the necessary out-
bound ports. Opticodec-PC Streaming Encoder uses TCP/IP for all server connections,
so there should be nothing to configure in the firewall and/or router. In the event
that outbound ports are blocked or a software firewall is used, the appropriate
ports will require opening.

Table 3-2: Firewall or router configuration for HTTP/ICY SHOUTcast
Unicast — HTTP/ICY Icecast2
Because Nullsoft Winamp, the primary player for Icecast2 streams, supports for HE
AAC/aacPlus v2, we recommend using a Channel setting of Stereo v2. This will pro-
vide the best codec performance at low bitrates.
