Before You Install

1: System Requirements
2: Setting Your System Date, Time, and Time Zone Correctly
3: Configuring Network Settings for a Firewall

Before you begin to install the Lionbridge Connector (Connector) for Episerver, please review the system requirements, described in System Requirements, and perform the following pre-installation procedures:

Back up your Episerver database.
If you received the Connector as a NuGet package (with file extension .nupkg) directly from Lionbridge, ensure that it is saved to a location that is accessible during the installation process. Alternatively, you can download the package directly from the Episerver NuGet feed, using the NuGet Package Manager Console. For details, see Installing the Lionbridge Connector.

1 - System Requirements

The Lionbridge Connector for Episerver supports Episerver versions 10 and 11.

The Lionbridge Connector for Episerver has no additional hardware or software requirements beyond those of Episerver. For detailed requirements, refer to the Episerver documentation, available at: http://world.episerver.com/documentation.

2 - Setting Your System Date, Time, and Time Zone Correctly

The Connector sends content to and receives content from the Clay Tablet Platform, which is hosted in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment. AWS requires any machines that connect to its applications to have the correct system time and date settings.

Important: Before proceeding, ensure that the system date, time, and time zone are set correctly on any systems that will run the Connector. If these settings are incorrect, the following error message is displayed: Error. The difference between the request time and the current time is too large.

3 - Configuring Network Settings for a Firewall

Optional step. If you have a firewall, you must configure your ports so that the Connector can communicate with the Clay Tablet Platform. The Connector must be able to communicate with the Clay Tablet Platform by initiating the following outbound network connections:

Protocol	Port Number	Description	Location to Configure
HTTPS	Port 443	For secure access to Amazon’s AWS S3 service	.s3.amazonaws.com/
HTTPS	Port 443	For secure access to Amazon’s AWS SQS service	https://queue.amazonaws.com/*
HTTPS	Port 443	For secure access to Amazon’s AWS SQS service	https://sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/*

To send content for translation to Lionbridge Freeway, also configure:

Protocol	Port Number	Description	Location to Configure
HTTPS	Port 443	For secure access to Lionbridge Freeway	https://fwapi.lionbridge.com/obvibundles/ freewayauth.asmx
