UnderstandingtheNetworkEnvironment

ThissectiondescribesthebasicoperationofthecontrolpanelinanIPnetworkenvironment.

EthernetHub/SwitchsettoAuto-Negotiate Mosthubsandswitchesdefaulttoauto-negotiate,whichisthepreferredsetting.

LANConnectedtoInternet Minimalbandwidth;Cable/DSLcompatible.

DHCP DHCPRecommended

ProxyServer SOCKS5Proxyloginsupported.

SNMP–Notsupported/required. SNMPissecurityvulnerability.

BandwidthUsageTheBrivocontrolpanelhasavirtuallyunnoticeableeffectonyourLANenvironment.Itrequiresverylittlebandwidthandnonetworkmanagement.

Thecontrolpanelproducesthefollowingtypesofnetworktraffic:

Forbothpanelversions,inresponsetolocalevents(credentialauthorization,alarms,timers,etc.),itpostsHTTPSmessagestotheBrivoOnairCloudServer.

Forthe-E,itperiodicallypollstheBrivoOnairCloudServerusingHTTPStoqueryfornewdatathatmaybeavailable.

NOTE:Thepollingperiodissetbydefaulttoafive-minuteintervalforthe–Epanelversion.

Forthe-A,thepanelwillcontacttheBrivoOnsiteServereachtimeitencountersasituationwherethedataisnotinthepanel’scurrentdatabase.Additionally,theBrivoOnsiteServerappliancewillpushnewdatatothe-Apanelwhenthereisachangeinconfiguration.

Forbothpanelversions,itdownloadsnewdatasetsviaHTTPSwhenavailable.Datasetsconsistofcredentials,schedules,configurationparameters,etc.Theymaybeanywherefromafewkilobytestoseveraltensofkilobytes,dependingonthesizeoftheuserpopulation,numberofschedules,numberofchangestotheaccount,etc.

Forthe-E,thepanelfirmwareisupgradeduponcustomerrequestthroughBrivoCustomerCare,whereuponthefirmwareupgradeprocessoccursautomatically.

Forthe-A,whenthepanelfirsthandshakeswiththeBrivoOnsiteServerappliance,thefirmwarewillautomaticallybeupdated.Additionally,theadministratoroftheBrivoOnsiteServerappliancemaymanuallyupdatethefirmwareofallconnectedpanelswhentheBrivoOnsiteServerappliancereceivesanewupgradefile.



FirewallConsiderationsThe-EpaneloperatessuccessfullythroughanyfirewallthatisconfiguredtoallowOUTBOUNDHTTPStraffic(Port443).ItdoesnotrequirethatanyfirewallportsbeopentoINBOUNDtrafficfromoutsideyourenvironment.ThisisbecauseofthewaythattheHTTP(S)protocoloperateswithfirewalls.

DatafromtheBrivoOnairCloudServerisdownloadedtothecontrolpanelbyvirtueofthefactthatfirewallsallowtheresponsetoanHTTP(S)“POST”messagetoreturnthroughthefirewall,providedtheoriginalPOSTmessageoriginatedfromwithinthefirewall,asitdoesinthecaseofaninstalled–Epanel.

-EControlPanelsandProxyServersIfthereisaproxyserveronyournetworkwhichordinarilyblocksoutboundnetworktraffic,pleaseseeyournetworkadministratortoobtaintherequiredproxyserversettings:loginID,password,portnumber,andIPaddressofproxyserver.The-EcontrolpanelrequiresthisinformationtoauthenticateitselftotheproxyserverandgainaccesstotheInternet.

Usingaproxyservermayalsorequirethatthe-EcontrolpanelbeconfiguredtouseastaticIPaddresssothattheproxyservercancorrectlyidentifythecontrolpanelasa“specialcase”andallowittocommunicatetotheInternet.
