On Demand Archive TCP (optional) 554

Media On Demand Archive UDP(optional) Random (for source port)

Notes Regarding On Demand Archive

The UDP ports used for on demand archives are randomly chosen. There are two ways to

configure firewalls and Windows Media Player for usage with RSS2000 on demand archives.

1) Open an outbound UDP port range matching what is used by Windows Media Player, or open

all UDP ports outbound from RSS2000 to effectively bypass the firewall for outbound traffic. Also

open the port range used by Windows Media Player for inbound traffic to the viewing PC. This

range is configurable in Windows Media Player, as seen in Figure 1 (Windows Media Player

defaults shown). The user can check RTSP/UDP, check ‘Use ports’ and define the port range.

2) Disable UDP connections in Windows Media Player to force a TCP-only connection. This

configuration utilizes only TCP port 554. As seen in Figure 2, unchecking RTSP/UDP removes

the user’s ability to specify a port range and forces all connections to use TCP 554 only.
