Getting live data through a firewall

By default, CIUMon listens on port 5099. In order to connect to CIUMon from across a firewall, this port must be unblocked.

In a simple setup, each instance of Hyperview connects to CIUMon across the firewall.

To limit the number of connections that must be allowed through the firewall, CIUMon can be run in relay mode on a computer outside the firewall. The relay mode CIUMon connects to the main CIUMon through the firewall, and live data users connect to the relay mode CIUMon.

The live data users do not need connections through the firewall.
