Network and communication
Note
At the first start you will find the user interface of the virtual Beetle under the address of your Alcedo Inhouse server and port 8888.
The login is beetle-admin and the password is sm@rtCopper48.
We strongly recommend you change the default password. After logging in, click on Users in the left sidebar and edit the default user to change the password.
VPN and WAN communication
The virtual Beetle communicates with Alcedo Inhouse via the local network. For some services, however, an Internet connection is required if they are not available on the Intranet.
The following ports must be routed through the local firewall to ensure that the Beetle works correctly:
Service | Outgoing connection* | Notes | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Target address | Protocol | Port | ||
NTP | according to Beetle configuration | UDP | 123 | optional (an NTP server in the intranet is recommended) |
DNS | according to Beetle configuration | UDP/TCP | 53 | optional (a DNS server in the intranet is recommended) |
* Connections that are established from the Beetle to the Internet.
The firewall must allow responses to requests via the above connections.
Reserved IP addresses
Some IP address blocks are reserved for the internal communication of Avelon. Therefore, IP addresses in the following blocks must not be used in the local network (neither for WAN nor for LAN network connections):
172.17.0.0 - 172.17.255.255
