Basic network requirements
Activaire media players are plug-and-play. Each player needs internet access and should use a dedicated ethernet cable. Wi-Fi is permitted but not recommended.
- The player needs basic open network access.
- All communication to our servers is secure over HTTPS (port 443).
- A static IP can be assigned, but we recommend enabling DHCP on your router so the player auto-obtains a local IP address.
Advanced network requirements
For enterprise-level firewalls, have your network administrator review and allow the following:
| Port | Protocol | Purpose | Destination |
|---|---|---|---|
| 53 | UDP | DNS (routing) | Any public DNS |
| 123 | UDP | NTP (time sync) | pool.ntp.org* |
| 80 | TCP | Network health detection | verify.activaire.com* |
| 443 | TCP | Updates and device administration | connect.activaire.com (18.213.77.50), recovery.activaire.com (18.184.52.237), ds.activaire.com (18.211.34.40), ds3.activaire.com (52.1.176.93), auth.activaire.com*, artwork.activaire.com*, content.activaire.com* |
An asterisk marks dynamic URLs that resolve to a pool of IP addresses based on region and response times. If your enterprise requires mandatory static endpoint IPs for all communication, contact [email protected].
Additional network settings, if not already enabled:
- Enable NAT.
- Disable load-balancers (to support web-socket connections).
- Disable TCP RST.
- Enable support for TLSv1.2.
