Note: To stream media, you must open port 1935 for the RTMP protocol for TCP and UDP. You cannot add this rule

in the Request Instances wizard. You will add it in the AWS Management Console.

12 Review the information for the instance. When you’re satisfied with the settings, click Launch.

Your instances may take a few minutes to launch. Click View your instances on the Instances page to go to the AWS

Management Console.

Note: From the Amazon EC2 FAQ: It typically takes less than 10 minutes from the issue of the RunInstances call to the

point where all requested instances begin their boot sequences. This time is dependant on a number of factors including:

the size of your AMI, the number of instances you are launching, and how recently you have launched that AMI. Images

launched for the first time may take slightly longer to boot.

4 If the Start Screen doesn’t load or stream content, do the following:

• Verify that the instance is running in the AWS Management Console. In the My Instances panel of the console,

the Status column should have a green light and say “running”.

• Verify that the correct Allowed Connections are set. For information about which connections to allow, see

Modifying a Security Group.
