network administrator and the FireWorks administrator fill out the
“FireWorks Remote Client network administration form” (see Table 3 on
page 13). Both administrators should retain the completed form for
future reference.

This form is used to provide a means of communication between the

FireWorks administrator and the network administrator so that remote
FireWorks Remote Client users can access the FireWorks Remote
Server.

To install the FireWorks Remote Client software:

1. Insert the FireWorks DVD in your DVD drive.
2. Cancel the autoplay for installing FireWorks.
3. Open the FireWorks DVD in Windows Explorer, and then double-

Table 3: FireWorks Remote Client network administration form

Section 1 (To be filled out by the FireWorks administrator)

The FireWorks Remote Client users will be located on

(check all that apply):
 Internet

 Company or building VPN (virtual private network)

 Company or building intranet

 Same LAN that the FireWorks Web Server is on

 Other: __________________________________________

Section 2 (To be filled out by the network administrator)

The network address of the FireWorks workstation is:

Full computer name: _____________________________________

Static IP address: _______________________________________

FireWorks uses Microsoft Web Communication Foundation (WCF) to

communicate with the FireWorks Remote Client. These web services
communicate over port 8021 using TCP/IP. The network address of the
FireWorks workstation therefore needs to remain constant either
through the use of a static IP address or a DNS name.

Note: If a static IP address is available, the network administrator must

configure the FireWorks workstation with that IP address.

P/N 3100034-EN • REV 11 • ISS 07DEC16 13
