CC-SG and Raritan Devices
A main role of CC-SG is to manage and control Raritan devices, such as 
Dominion KX II. Typically, CC-SG communicates with these devices over 
a TCP/IP network (local, WAN, or VPN) and both TCP and UDP 
protocols are used as follows:

CC-SG Clustering
When the optional CC-SG clustering feature is used, the following ports 
must be available for the inter-connecting sub-networks. If the optional 
clustering feature is not used, none of these ports has to be open. 
Each CC-SG in the cluster may be on a separate LAN. However, the 
inter-connection between the units should be very reliable and not prone 
to periods of congestion. 
Several TCP/IP connections are maintained and initiated by the 
Primary to the Backup in a CC-SG cluster. These connections may be 
idle for extended periods of time, but they are necessary for the 
cluster to operate. 
Ensure that all CC-SG to CC-SG cluster connections over VPN or 
firewalls do not time out or become blocked. Timing out these 
connections will cause the cluster to fail.
