INSTALLING RSP SERVER

The remote service protocol (RSP) is dedicated tunneling software for the SRDM to carry out communication that passes through the firewall.

For standard intranets, firewall settings are used to configure the network so that access from outside the intranet is blocked. By utilizing RSP, management of devices which are set up within the intranet can be carried out from the SRDM via the Internet, without changing the settings for the firewall which protects the intranet.

RSP consists of an RSP server and RSP clients. The RSP server must be installed on the same hardware as the SRDM server. The RSP clients must be installed on PC in an intranet. This Setup Guide describes the installation method for the RSP server.

For details on installing the RSP clients, refer to the Agent Software Setup Guide.

 RSP is useful at times such as when you have SRDM installed on a server which is accessible via the Internet in order to manage devices which have been set up in several different locations.

 If not using an SRDM on the Internet to carry out management of devices within the intranet from outside the intranet’s firewall, it is not necessary to install the RSP server.

 English is the only language which is supported as display languages for RSP

Installing RSP Server

1. Open ports in Windows Firewall

 Open the following ports to communicate with Agent through Firewall via RSP tunnel (For the process, see “Windows Firewall settings”.)
