Avid Interplay Central Port Usage
Interplay Central clients that connect through the public Internet require VPN access into the server network. All
connections pass through the VPN router/firewall through identified ports. Once the data has passed into the
“house network” it is secured using the customer’s existing network security infrastructure.
Users connected within the corporate LAN/WAN would not typically use VPN access but would likely need to
pass through firewalls and other network security devices with ACLs before accessing the Avid Interplay network.
n
Outbound ACLs should be used to allow packets from the ICS server to the IPC client over “established” TCP
sessions only.
The Interplay Central web service and Interplay Central application services operate on the same server so there
are no proxies or firewalls between these components. Access to the Interplay Central database is also direct, with
no database firewall protection required.
The following table lists the ports used by Interplay Central that should be allowed through the VPN firewall.
Transfer Engine 6532 TCP/IP Media Connectivity tool (defined in system32\drivers\etc\services
com.avid.mct). The TM server listens on this port for requests from
other TM servers (for example, initiating a workgroup transfer.).
6535 TCP/IP Playback protocol (defined in system32\drivers\etc\services
com.avid.pbp). This is the default port used by TM Server for
connecting to Playback Servers (Airspace etc.). This is configurable
for some playback servers.
6539 TCP/IP Transfer Engine (defined in system32\drivers\etc\services
com.avid.pbp com.avid.xmgr). The TM Server listens on this port for
incoming requests from the TM Client.
