16)What happen if the user has the firewall installed in his PC?
A. The following instructions are provided as guidelines for
configuring your firewall to accommodate USB Phone operation:

1. Your firewall must support port mapping or forwarding.
2. Most firewalls have DHCP as their default configuration. DHCP
allows your firewall to dynamically assign a virtual IP address to
our PC.It is highly recommended that you assign a static virtual IP
address to your PC,as you will need to map ports to a single static
address. Consult with your firewall documentation for details.
3. Configure your firewall to map the following ports to the IP address
of the PC that is using USB Phone :
UDP Port 8481
UDP Port 8995
For example, if your USB Phone host PC is at IP address
192.168.0.88,
then the appropriate configuration on your firewall would be:
Port # Host Server IP
8481 192.168.0.88
8995 192.168.0.88
4. After saving your firewall configuration, you are ready to make and/or
receive calls through your firewall.
With this configuration, you will be able to call out and to receive
USB Phone calls through your firewall. The only limitation is that
only a single USB Phone host PC can receive a call at any given
time.
