Network / Firewall Settings

Details for network and firewall changes to get the best experience with Immediation.

When an Immediation Pre-flight Checkstest is run and some of the networks tests come back fail / red the problem is often due to local client or client network firewall rules which are blocking the required protocols, IP addresses and ports to provide seamless access.

This document outlines the required firewall changes. These changes typically need to be performed by the IT Network Security team, or similar, within your organisation.

Justification for Change Request

Immediation is an Online Dispute Resolution platform used by various organisations throughout the various states and territories of Australia and Globally. The Immediation platform comprises video conferencing, and in order to function, requires certain network ports and protocols to be correctly configured.

The core video serving technology is supported by the Twilio infrastructure. Twilio is a trusted global communication and media service provider. It is Twilio's trusted documentation that is the key source of information relating to ports, protocols and remote IP addresses, which are required to be whitelisted.
