Global Management System User’s Guide

Communication across the network for Polycom products requires the usage of certain Internet 
service ports.  Global Management System communicates with the web client, video devices 
and other services.  In the tables below, “Direction” indicates how a particular communication is 
initiated; for example, “Web browserà Global Management System” means the web browser 
opens a connection with Global Management System which is then used to interchange 
information.

The web client is a web browser running on a PC station that is used to access Global 
Management System, Path Navigator, or video devices.  The table below shows the protocol 
and port used. The ports listed must be open for two-way communication.

Different features offered in Global Management System use different ports when 
communicating with video devices.  The port most often used is port 80.  However, other 
protocols such as FTP and Telnet require the usage of ports other than 80.
