 Work with the Site IT Network Personnel to setup the following:
A. Setup a Network Static or Reserved IP Address and a unique Port Number for each IQ Satellite Controller
B. Provide the Network Subnet Mask and Gateway Address C. Provide the Internet IP Address for the Router/ Fire Wall D. Setup Port Forwarding (or Dynamic DNS) so IQ-Cloud can connect to the
Network Router and be forwarded to the individual IQ Satellite Controllers

 The IQ4 web interface is served from https://iq4.rainbird.com. This interface also talks to an api server located at https://iq4server.rainbird.com
 If the firewall can be configured to whitelist sites by DNS names, these two will be sufficient. However, if the firewall can only be configured to whitelist by IP address, then additional steps must be taken

 The iq4server.rainbird.com service is served from a set of static IP addresses:
­ 54.183.11.63 ­ 54.241.246.218 ­ 54.183.30.162 ­ 50.18.155.177 ­ 54.219.42.103
 The iq4.rainbird.com site is served via Amazon CloudFront, which is a CDN that provides caching and geographical distribution allowing for sites around the world to access the content from a fast, local data center. The following steps are required to find out what IP address your site is using to access IQ4 on CloudFront
