Lifesize Icon Guide 8
Configuring Your Firewall
This section explains how to configure your Lifesize video systems for firewall traversal, assuming you are
not using firewall traversal products such as UVC Transit or UVC ClearSea.
•If you are using UVC Transit, refer to the Lifesize UVC Transit Deployment Guide. If you are using
UVC ClearSea, refer to the Lifesize UVC ClearSea Deployment Guide.
•If your Icon is connected to Lifesize Cloud, refer to the online help available from the Cloud web
console.
Placement Behind a Firewall
Lifesize recommends that you place your system behind a firewall. Use one of the following options:
Firewall Settings for Ports
At a minimum, block external or inbound access to the following ports:
•22 (SSH)
•80 (HTTP)
•443 (HTTPS)
•554 (RTSP)
•10008 (REST API service if UVC Manager manages your system)
Lifesize recommends that these ports remain open for internal administrator access. Ensure that you
change the default administrator password to be secure.
NOTE Change the administrator password in the web interface in Preferences >
Passwords. You can disable SSH and web access on the system in
Preferences > Security.
DMZ with public IP address Placing your video systems in the DMZ allows you to assign public IP addresses.
This configuration makes it easier for your system to connect with public video
systems on the Internet.
Private LAN with NAT Placing your video systems in the private LAN with Network Address Translation
(NAT) obscures their private IP addresses, but makes calls with systems outside of
your network more complicated.

Lifesize Icon Guide 9
Call Setup and Media Ports
To place calls to other systems through the firewall, you must configure your firewall to allow incoming and
outgoing traffic to the system through the following:
Restricting Reserved Ports
To place calls to other devices through a firewall, you must configure your firewall to allow incoming and
outgoing traffic to the Lifesize system through the reserved ports. Users placing calls through a firewall to
systems with public IP addresses may experience one-way audio or video if the firewall is not properly
configured to allow two-way audio and video traffic.
By default, Lifesize systems communicate through TCP and UDP ports in the range 60000 - 64999 for
video, voice, presentations, and camera control. Lifesize systems use a subset of these ports during a call.
NOTE The minimum number of required ports is 100.
To minimize the number of UDP and TCP ports that are available for communication, restrict the range by
changing values in the browser in Preferences > Network > Reserved Ports. Lifesize recommends that
the range you choose, if other than a subset of the default range, begins with a port number greater than
49151. The range must start with an even number and end with an odd number to include an even number
of total ports. For a range that starts at 62000, set the lower end to 62000 and the upper end to 62099 to
allocate a range of 100 ports, the minimum.
NOTE Changing the values in Reserved Ports causes the system to restart.
UDP port 1719
TCP port 1720 Gatekeeper registration. H.323 call negotiation.
UDP port 5060 SIP call negotiation.
TCP port 5060 SIP call negotiation if TCP signaling is enabled for SIP calls.
TCP port 5061 TLS signaling in SIP calls if TLS signaling is enabled.
NOTE: TLS is the only transport that is supported for encrypted calls.
Required TCP and
UDP ports Range specified in Preferences > Network > Reserved Ports.

Lifesize Icon Guide 10
Using Lifesize Systems in a Private LAN with NAT
If you choose to place your video systems in a private LAN, you must use NAT to communicate with
outside systems. This may include enabling static NAT on your Lifesize system.
On your firewall, whether standalone or built in to your router, you must complete one of the following
tasks:
•Use 1:1 NAT and open the Call Setup and Media Ports over that connection bidirectionally with an
access list.
•Forward the Call Setup and Media Ports to your Lifesize system.
Refer to Restricting Reserved Ports and your firewall vendor's documentation for more information.
Enabling Static NAT
NAT enables communication between devices on your LAN that have private IP addresses and devices
that are accessed through a public IP network. Static NAT ensures that the same public IP address always
maps to a system’s private IP address so that data from the public network intended for the private system
can be routed to the system reliably.
If you are using static NAT to associate a public IP address with the private IP address of your Lifesize
system, you must configure your Lifesize system to work with your static NAT server. From a browser,
navigate to Preferences > Network and select Static NAT. Enter the public IP address, hostname, or fully
qualified domain name of your system in NAT Public IP Address.
NOTE You cannot upgrade the system from a web browser outside a firewall when
static NAT is enabled. Instead, perform the upgrade from within the firewall.
Testing your NAT Environment
If your firewall does not employ a feature set that performs H.323 or SIP NAT, you must enable NAT on
your private Lifesize system.
1. Place a call from a system on the Internet to your system in the private LAN. If your private system
connects within the first 2 seconds after answering, your NAT configuration is working properly. If the
call does not connect after answering and disconnects after 30 to 50 seconds, the reserved port
settings on your codec do not match the settings on your firewall. Ensure that the system and firewall
settings for UDP/TCP ports match.
2. If you still cannot place a successful call, you may have to disable the stateful packet inspection
feature on the firewall. Some firewall vendors may call this feature dynamic packet filtering. Refer to
your firewall vendor's documentation for more information.

Lifesize Icon Guide 11
Provisioning Your Icon through UVC ClearSea
UVC ClearSea allows Icon to discover a provisioning server and to configure itself with settings that are
specified on the server. When auto provisioning is enabled, UVC ClearSea functions as the provisioning
server. Whenever your device discovers this server, it retrieves the hosted configuration settings and
applies them locally.
NOTE Automatic provisioning requires Icon to discover the provisioning server. Read
more at Discovering the Provisioning Server.
You can use one of the following options to provision Icon through UVC ClearSea:
Select >to view the auto provisioning status in the Communications section of the table. If your
system was provisioned successfully, the IP address of the provisioning server appears.
If no explicit ports are available, Icon attempts to communicate through the following default ports:
•HTTP requests are sent to port 80. Failed requests revert to port 8180.
•HTTPS requests are sent to port 443. Failed requests revert to port 8181.
Enabling Icon Support for Lifesize MCU Conferences
This configuration allows Icon to dial in to bridge conferences through UVC ClearSea. The managed MCU
populates Meetings on Icon.
Complete the following prerequisite steps on UVC ClearSea:
1. Add an MCU in Manage > MCUs. Select Enable MCU Integration.
2. Create a user account for your Icon in Manage > Users.
a. Users registering with SIP or H.323 devices must use local credentials.
b. Enter the device’s IP address in UVC Auto Provisioning.
3. Add a call routing rule in Manage > Call Routing that forwards the dial string to the MCU address. The
forwarding destination uses the format:
<dialstring>@<mcuIPAddress>
OPTION 1: Register your Icon to
UVC ClearSea over H.323 or
SIP.

When Icon discovers the provisioning server, Icon retrieves the following configuration settings from UVC
ClearSea and applies them locally:
Registering Icon to UVC ClearSea through the SIP Registrar
Lifesize recommends that you register Icon over H.323 or SIP, not both. If you register the device over SIP,
keep H.323 enabled.
1. Navigate to Preferences > SIP Registrar.
2. Enter the user ID of the Icon account you created in UVC ClearSea in SIP Username.
3. Enter the user ID and password of the Icon account you created in UVC ClearSea in Authorization
Username and Authorization Password.
4. Enter the IP address or domain name for UVC ClearSea in Registrar Hostname and Proxy
Hostname (if you use a SIP proxy).
Integrating Icon with UVC ClearSea
Integrating your Icon with UVC ClearSea provides the following features:
•Icon registers to UVC ClearSea over SIP and uses configuration settings for the Icon user directly from
UVC ClearSea Server.
•Icon can add video participants and accept multiple incoming callers to the ongoing call.
•UVC ClearSea contacts are available in Icon. A contact's online status appears in the directory in Icon.
Icon Preferences Description

If your video system is already receiving a presentation, you cannot connect a laptop and start your own
presentation without first stopping the current presentation to all callers. Further, you cannot take control of
a remote presentation.
Select from the following layout options during a call:
