Appendix A
Ports and Protocols
The key to setting up the Deep Freeze architecture is knowing which ports to use. The important
factor is knowing which ports are in use on the network and using ports that will not conflict with
those. The default port, 7725 has been officially registered to Deep Freeze.
The following three components make up the Deep Freeze architecture:
•
Client (with seed installed)
•
Remote Console (local service enabled)
•
Console (connects to the Remote Console)
As long as the clients and Remote Console connection use the same port there should not be any
port conflicts between the different components:
Ports can also be used to divide the clients. If the local service is setup to run three ports (7725,
7724 and 7723), Enterprise Consoles can connect to the three different ports to see a different set
of clients under each port.
In the diagram above, the client(s) use both the TCP and UDP protocols to communicate with the
Remote Console. The Console(s) that connects to the Remote Console uses only the TCP protocol
to communicate with the Remote Console. It is important to remember the ports and protocols
being used in order to prevent firewalls, switches or routers from blocking them.
