QuestionBridging between unicast and multicast network

    Hi there!

    It surprised me to see the new change on the conferenceXP site. What happens to those old threads from the forum?

     

    Anyway, could you tell me how to check whether an installation of the reflector service is working or not? Which ports should be opened to allow the reflector service to accept connection from a unicast network?

    This is my current situation:

    I would like to connect to a venue that I installed at my university from home.

    Everything (teleconference and archiving) works perfectly if I connect to the venue from within the university, therefore I assume that my university LAN has a multicast capability.

    But when I try to connect to the venue from outside the university's LAN (ex: from home, across internet1), the archiving service does not receive any stream at all (both video and audio).

    Based on this, I think the data stop somewhere, but I don't know how to trace it. My network administrator said that port 5004,5005,7004 and 7005 are open. Any suggestion on how to trace this?
