Installing SMARTBridgit server software
Introduction
When installing SMARTBridgit server software, consider the following points:
l If you install SMARTBridgit server software on a dedicated server with one network interface
card (NIC), select All (default) to bind SMARTBridgit conferencing software to all IP
addresses. If your network uses network address translation (NAT), use port forwarding to
redirect external requests to the NIC.
l If the server is multi-homed (has multiple NICs), select the internal IP address to bind
SMARTBridgit conferencing software to the internal NIC. Use port forwarding to redirect
external requests to the external NIC.
l If you install SMARTBridgit server software on a server running other web server applications
(for instance, Microsoft IIS or any other web server application using Port 80), you can
configure SMARTBridgit software by:
o
Using IP specific binding. Each server binds to a specific IP address. You can add
multiple IP addresses to a single NIC on Windows servers by selecting Control Panel
> Network Connections > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
o
Customizing the default primary server port. In this case, multiple applications can bind
to the same IP address but on different ports. This setup requires users to specify the
port when connecting SMARTBridgit client (for example server.company.com:88).
