    Hi,

     

    I am planning the design for a CWA deployment and I noticed that I had to provide the following firewall requirement:

     

    1025 - 65,535

    Dynamically assigned for incoming traffic from Office Communication Server 2007 Server

     

    Now I don't really understand why there is a need to have a specific incomming port defined on the CWA server knowing that we already have a SIP port listening on the CWA and there is no media traffic available for the CWA client.

     

    In addition if we can't work around this requirement is there a way to FIX this port just like we can do with many other services ?

     

    Sincerely,

    Tonino Bruno

    Hi Tonino,

     

    That is why that Microsoft insists that you install the CWA in the LAN and not in the perimeter

    Use a reverse proxy to publish your CWA server

     

    These ports are required for RPC and the CWA server acts just like a client that dynamically allocates a port to communicate with server

     

    You can fix ports on communicator but not sure this would work for CWA, I doubt it
