Log: Exportable log for auditing.
Backup: Import/export all configurations.
1.3 System Architecture
Figure 1. Network diagram of DMZ example
A typical deployment option is running the Splashtop Center in the demilitarized zone (DMZ).
As shown in Figure 1above, deploying in the DMZ requires opening port 443 on the firewall to
allow access to services via the Splashtop Center. The IT administrator needs to open port 443
and configure port forwarding for port 443 between public IP (Internet) and private IP (Intranet)
in the firewall. All traffic between Internet client and Intranet Streamer communication and
data transfer will be relayed by the on-premise Relay service of Splashtop Center.
4

Splashtop Center Quick Start Guide
Figure 2. Network diagram of Intranet example
An alternative deployment option is placing the Splashtop Center in the Intranet. This option is
for companies who do not have DMZ. Splashtop Center can run in the Intranet and the IT
administrator also needs to open port 443 and configure port forwarding for Splashtop Center in
the firewall.

3. SERVER CONFIGURATION
3.1 Server
 Gateway tab
On-premise Gateway is a point of entry for Splashtop Center which connects client and
Streamer when they log in to Splashtop Center.
On-premise Gateway port:
Splashtop Center uses the TCP port only. The default gateway and relay port is 443;
please make sure the port is not occupied by other services. If your server domain name
is test.company.com, Splashtop Center field on both the streamer and client will be
test.splashtop.com.
To provide external access service, please set up port forwarding/mapping on your
firewall or router. For example, if your Splashtop Center IP address is a private IP, you
need to set up port forwarding on your firewall to redirect the port from the public IP to
the private IP.

For example, if you add user “john” from the “splashtop.com” domain, the user
account for Streamer and client would be “[email protected]”. If the Email
property is empty, the User logon name would be the user account.
If a user is removed from AD directly, that user will still be present in Splashtop Center.
However, the account will be disabled as the credential check will fail when querying
against AD.
