4. Installation
Barco – Apollo – DOC-3197-2 – user's manual – Revision 08 – November 2006
__________________________________________________
29/402
Please mind: The Control Room Configurator requires Microsoft Visio 2000 or higher!
These requirements are checked before Apollo is installed. A prompt is displayed to install any additionally re-
quired software, if necessary. The Apollo installation then has to be restarted.
In case Windows Scripting Host is missing at your Windows installation, this application is enclosed on the Apollo
installation CD (“Apollo (CRS-3045)\Apollo 1.8\public\WindowsScriptingHost” directory).
You need administrative privileges to install the Apollo software. If the computer reboots during installation,
users have to log in with administrative privileges after the reboot as well.
When installing, please stick to the following installation sequence: OS level first
(Windows2000 WindowsXP), then system level (Windows Driver Suite, Barco RC Agent),
finally application level (Apollo, RemotePointer, Screen Host)
4.3 Used ports
Apollo will use the following ports:
Application ports
Control Room Bus TCP/IP ports: 4570 and 4571
CottusViewer / Proxy Host UDP port: 1505
CottusViewer /Gateway UDP port: 2303
VncViewer / VncServer / TightVncServer TCP/IP port: 5900

With Windows XP SP2, the firewall is automatically activated and all ports are closed! Make
sure to open the above mentioned ports! Without being able to communicate, Apollo will
not work!
Please check also if an external firewall is installed. No matter what type of firewall:
Apollo can only operate when the ports listed above are open.
Consult the user documentation about your firewall how to open the ports.
