Configuring Your Connection Using the Setup Wizard

This section provides additional information you will need on some of the wizard pages to 
enable calling on the following types of connections:

❑

Within an Intranet 

❑

Within a Virtual Private Network (VPN)

❑

Through a DSL or cable modem (no router)

❑

Through a network router

Refer to the appropriate section for your particular connection.

If you need to change your connection setup after you have finished the setup wizard, you 
can do so through the PVX application. For more information, refer to Configuring Your 
Connection from the PVX Application in this application note.

Setup for Calling Within an Intranet

An Intranet is a private network within a company or organization. Intranet calls remain 
inside the firewall, so you can communicate with anyone in your office network without 
security issues.

Enter this information in the setup wizard screens if you are setting up PVX for calling 
within your company network:

❑

: If the wizard asks whether to use the external WAN 

address, click No.

❑

 dialog box: If the wizard detects multiple addresses and asks 

you to choose the recommended address, click OK.

❑

 dialog box: Select Use the PC's Local IP Address to make Intranet 

calls. The first time you start PVX, a wizard guides you through the initial setup.

If you need to use PVX to make external calls outside of your Intranet, please check with 
your network administrator. Calls outside of your Intranet require changes in the firewall 
settings to allow video through specific ports. Network administrators oversee firewall 
configurations for enabling calls to and from the Internet.
