Adding MIP Servers to Your Network

Assign each server a static IP address. If you are using the Internet for your connections, place firewalls between your MIP Encoder servers and their Internet connection, and between the Central Server and its Internet connection. As a minimum, assign a DNS entry to the Central Server to facilitate client access. Currently the MIP suite is IPv4 only.

IP Port Utilization

Numerous TCP/UDP ports are used for intra application communication and to provide MIP client access.
