APPENDIX F. CONFIGURING TELEVANTAGE FOR THE WINDOWS FIREWALL F-3
Note: Vertical recommends this setting as the easiest and most secure setting
that guarantees communication for the TeleVantage system on a typical LAN where
all TeleVantage PCs are on the same subnet. If all of your TeleVantage PCs are not
on the same subnet, you cannot choose this option, and must choose either Any
computer or Custom List.
Q Custom list. With this option, you list the IP addresses, subnets, or both
representing the PCs whose network traffic is accepted by this Server PC.
You can enter an individual IP address, or a range of IP addresses using an IP
address followed by a forward slash (/) and a subnet mask. Separate each entry in
the list with a comma and no space.
For example, entering 192.168.114.201/255.255.255.0 specifies the range
192.168.114.0 through 192.168.114.255. (Note that choosing this option and
entering your IP address followed by your subnet mask is the same as choosing the
option
My network (subnet) only.)
Q None (firewall must be configured manually). This option makes no
modifications to the Server PC's Windows Firewall.
Important:
The TeleVantage system will not work properly if you choose this
option. However, you can manually configure the firewall exceptions added for
TeleVantage (listed on page F-4) through Windows to permit TeleVantage system
communications. To configure firewall exceptions manually, choose Start > Settings
> Control Panel > Windows Firewall. Consult your Windows documentation for
further instructions.
Go to step 5.
4. Select the Security \ Workstation Firewall tab, and then click
Custom list.
The settings on this tab determine which IP addresses will be allowed to send network
requests to the TeleVantage workstation PCs. You only need to specify the IP address
of your TeleVantage Server PC, which you can do in several ways.
Q If your TeleVantage Server has a fixed IP address, click Server IP Address to
automatically enter the IP address(es) of your TeleVantage Server PC.
Q If you have multiple TeleVantage Servers, enter each Server’s IP address, so that
any TeleVantage workstation can connect to any TeleVantage Server. Separate
each IP address with a comma and no space.
Q If your TeleVantage Server uses DHCP to obtain an IP address dynamically, be sure
to specify the complete list of IP addresses or subnets that could be dynamically
assigned to your TeleVantage Server PC.
