Registering a Cisco DMP 4400/4310

This article provides instructions to register Cisco DMP4310G or DMP4400G devices to cloud and on-premise Appspace deployments, using the following two options:

Prerequisites

  • The Appspace on-premise server should have sufficient client access licenses (CALs) to register the desired quantity of devices.
  • Ensure that you have the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) versions installed on your web browser.
  • Ensure that you have enabled Java to run on your web browser.
  • Ensure that you have added your Appspace instance as a trusted site to your web browser.
  • If the Appspace deployment utilizes multiple-domain Active Directory authentication, ensure you have the short domain name and credentials.
  • Ensure that the following network port rules are enabled to complete registration process:

Source Destination Ports Description
Workstation Appspace HTTP(80) or HTTPS (443) Access using a modern web browser (FireFox, Chrome, Safari) with Adobe Flash 10.0 Plugin. User must add appspace.com to list of trusted websites and enable pop-ups from this URL. Network firewall and proxy server must allow access to Appspace domain URL/IP.
Workstation DMP 4310G or 4400G SSH (22) The DMP wizard tool runs on a Windows OS (Windows XP, Windows 7), and requires the Microsoft .Net 4.0 runtime and accesses the device via SSH during registration.
DMP 4310G or 4400G Appspace HTTP(80) or HTTPS (443) Background agents on media player devices connect to Appspace for content sync and player status reporting. Network firewall and proxy server must allow access to the Appspace domain URL/IP.
DMP 4310G or 4400G Valid NTP Server (e.g. pool.ntp.org) UDP(123) ICMP The media players requires access to a valid NTP server to sync its system clock. This can be an internal network NTP server or a public NTP server on the pool.ntp.org domain name. Network firewall and/or proxy server must allow access to a selected NTP server.
