You must open firewall ports between individual network components to allow traffic to flow so that Mediasite may function properly.
The following table outlines the ports that are used by Mediasite and the purpose of each. Depending on the intended use of Mediasite in a specific network, some entries may not be necessary or may be modified to further restrict the source and destination. It is possible to change all the port numbers to non-standard ports by modifying settings in the Mediasite applications and IIS servers. The Mediasite Data location as well as storage location for content servers can be configured to use the File Server in the Management Portal. FTP/SFTP is not required when Mediasite is set up to use the File Server.
