“In order to properly support a NAT configuration, the firewall will need to be configured as
a one-to-one relationship between a public IP address and the private IP address for all ports
in the H.323 range (which include 1718 UDP, 1719 UDP and 1720 TCP as well as other
vendor-specific TCP and UDP ports needed to complete H.323 calls). For the specific range
needed, consult your endpoint manufacturer.”
