Prerequisites for configuring the Meeting Connector with 1:1 NAT

• A running Meeting Connector
• Admin access to the server web interface

How to configure a single Zone Controller and MMR with 1:1 NAT

Example network configuration

Example Network Information:

• Internal IP address for ZC: 10.100.124.238
• External IP address assigned to ZC: 173.288.57.204
• Internal IP address for MMR: 10.100.124.237
• External IP address assigned to MMR: 173.288.57.203

Example Firewall Setup for 1:1 NAT:

• ZC: 173.228.57.204 > 10.100.124.238
• MMR: 173.288.57.203 > 10.100.124.237

Configuring 1:1 NAT for a single Zone Controller

1. In your web browser, navigate to the appliance's web console: https://[ZC internal address]:5480
2. Sign in with admin credentials.
3. In the navigation menu, click Configure.
4. Select how certificates for the Meeting Connector will be managed. 
5. Enter the external addresses, for the ZC and MMR as shown below:
6. Complete the certificate configuration for the Zone Controller and MMR.

How to configure a dual Zone Controller setup with 1:1 NAT

Example network configuration

Example Network Information:

• External IP address assigned to ZC: 173.288.57.204
• Internal IP address for MMR: 10.100.124.237
• External IP address assigned to MMR: 173.288.57.203

Zone Controller 2

• Internal IP address for ZC: 10.100.124.236
• External IP address assigned to ZC: 173.288.57.202
• Internal IP address for MMR: 10.100.124.235
• External IP address assigned to MMR: 173.288.57.201

Example Firewall Setup for 1:1 NAT:

• ZC-1: 173.228.57.204 > 10.100.124.238
• MMR-1: 173.288.57.203 > 10.100.124.237
• ZC-2: 173.228.57.202 > 10.100.124.236
• MMR-2: 173.288.57.201 > 10.100.124.235
