The Cisco VCS Expressway Starter Pack may have endpoints register to it locally or register to it from
behind a home, small business or hotel firewall.
behind a home, small business or hotel firewall.
If the Cisco VCS Expressway Starter Pack services Movi users that are behind a firewall, the Cisco
VCS must have a public IP address – the local (DMZ) firewall must pass the specific public IP address
traffic to the Cisco VCS.

The Dual Network interface option may be used on the Cisco VCS Expressway Starter Pack. When
enabled, the Cisco VCS can be deployed behind a local static NAT firewall; the Cisco VCS is
configured with the public IP address of the local (DMZ) NAT firewall so that when the Cisco VCS
communicates with other devices it appears as an Internet routable device despite being behind the
local NAT firewall.

You must ensure that sufficient bandwidth is available when making calls through firewalls and other
infrastructure. For example, five simultaneous calls using 512kbps in each direction will require
2.5Mbps bandwidth for this video traffic on top of its normal operation.

Purpose of this guide
This deployment guide describes the configuration steps required to configure a Cisco VCS
Expressway Starter Pack, including basic configuration, provisioning, device authentication and also
how to configure user accounts so that Movi clients are provisioned when users sign on to them.
