LifeSize video conferencing system
How do I correctly set up the ports for inbound and outbound traffic on my Nighthawk for a LifeSize video conferencing system? My set-up: Fiber connection, set public IP. Conference system has N...
I looked at some of the setup documents for Lifesize and I now believe that you have to open some ports. You should set up a port forwarding rule for TCP port 1720 to allow H.323 to work. You may also have to open UDP port 1719. If you use SIP, then UDP port 5060, TCP port 5060 and TCP port 5061 also need to be opened. Finally, you may need to open ports specified in Preferences > Network > Reserved Ports on your Lifesize system.
Thanks for answer. I sorta agree with you, but the thing is that the LifeSize can't connect to the H.323-server, and that makes it highly inconvenient to use. The system is connected OK, as the in-built network tools allows it to ping and tracert ip-adresses outside of the LAN. but it will not connect to the H.323.

Thanks for your help. To really solve this, the H.323-server provider also had to tweak a minor setting in their acceptance of my system's log-in. That was, however, due to us changing ISP, rather than the 7000, it works flawlessly now.
