Signiant Media Shuttle System Requirements Print

This guide outlines the system requirements and firewall configuration needed to install and use Media Shuttle in your organization.

Media Shuttle On-Premises Storage Server

Media Shuttle storage servers provide an endpoint for Media Shuttle transfers using on-premises storage, such as a local disk, NAS or a SAN.

Operating System

  • RedHat Enterprise Linux/CentOS 7.0+ (64-bit)
  • Windows 7 (64-bit)
  • Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
  • Windows 10 (64-bit)
  • Windows Server 2008 R2
  • Windows Server 2012 R2
  • Windows Server 2016
  • Windows Server 2019

Hardware

  • CPU: Intel Xeon dual-core processor 2 GHz or better
  • Memory: 4GB, 8GB recommended
  • Disk Space: 4 GB free space, 40 GB free space recommended
  • Network Connection: 100 Mbps or faster
  • Shared Memory Segment (Linux): 512 MB minimum

Network Setup

Media Shuttle storage servers use ports 80, 443, 8080, 8443, 49221, and 61001 for monitoring, control and data transfer functions. No other software can use these ports on your storage server.

Media Shuttle clients and servers must be able to access public DNS in order to resolve Signiant domains.

If you are using NAS with a Media Shuttle storage server without a Windows domain, you must set up a local user account with administrative privileges with the same user name and password as the NAS server.

For more information on NAS, see section 4.1 in the Media Shuttle Deployment Guide.

Firewall Rules

Inbound

Source IP Target IP Address Protocol Port
Media Shuttle clients Media Shuttle storage server UDP 49221
Media Shuttle clients Media Shuttle storage server (Multi-Port Mode) UDP 49221-49321
Media Shuttle clients Media Shuttle storage server TCP 49221
Media Shuttle clients Media Shuttle storage server TCP 80

Outbound

Source IP Target IP Address Protocol Port
Media Shuttle storage servers Amazon EC2 IP Ranges TCP 443
Media Shuttle storage servers Amazon CloudFront IP Ranges TCP 443
Media Shuttle storage servers *.pndsn.com TCP 443

Note: The storage server registers locally on port 8080.

External Domains

Media Shuttle storage servers make HTTPS connections to the following domains:

  • updates.signiant.com
  • *.mediashuttle.com
  • *.cloud.signiant.com
  • *.pndsn.com
  • a2xy0445m8zinb.iot.us-west-2.amazonaws.com

  • device-service.services.cloud.signiant.com

Cloud Object Storage

Media Shuttle supports both Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure Standard Blob cloud object storage.

  • If you are using AWS S3 storage, you must create a Role ARN to allow Media Shuttle to connect to your bucket.
  • If you are using Microsoft Azure storage, you must generate an access key for use with Media Shuttle to allow access to your container.

Signiant App

The Signiant App is a Windows and macOS application that allows you to accelerate content transfers through Media Shuttle, which is available as an automatic download from any of your Media Shuttle portals, or as a download from the support center for distribution before your organization starts using Media Shuttle.
