8 Breeze Deployment Guide
Additional configuration guidelines
The following are additional guidelines to help you set up your network and Domain Name
Service
(DNS):
Static IP addressees Breeze does not support static IP addresses to access the server. Many
websites and systems let you access their content by entering either a URL, such as
www.search.com, or an IP address, such as 66.252.27.402. You must set up a domain name
for your Breeze server and map that to the proper IP address using either a DNS server or a
.hosts file.
Two server configurations and ports If you install Breeze Presentation and Breeze Training
modules on one server, and Breeze Live on another, configure Breeze Live to use port 80.
Although Breeze Live can use port 80 or port 1935, port 80 is better known and the system
encounters fewer issues, such as with firewalls and networks.
Firewalls and proxy servers
Firewalls and proxy servers can cause problems for a single-server Breeze configuration. The
Breeze Presentation and Breeze Training server uses port 80 by default, which most firewalls and
proxy servers allow. Breeze Live uses port 1935 by default, and reverts to port 443 if port 1935 is
not successful. These two ports are not as common to firewalls and proxy servers; if necessary,
Breeze Live attempts to use port 80 to interact with the end-user’s computer if ports 1935 and
443 aren’t available.
