View source for MatLabPool Config

This page consolidates several bits of information relevant to MatLabPool operation.  The information was originally on the [[MatLab DCS]] page.

== Client Firewalls ==
The information below was obtained from [http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-39LCCA/index.html?product=DW this MATLAB FAQ page].
=== Linux ===
You are running a firewall on your Linux workstation, aren't you? Good. In order for MATLAB communicate properly with the Distributed Computing Server on cheaha, you'll need to open a range of ports, specifically TCP ports 27370 thru 27470. A typical entry in an iptables firewall chain would look like the following (where 138.26.84.72 is the IP address for cheaha.uabgrid.uab.edu)
<pre>
# 20100915 - Mike Hanby - MATLAB Parallel computing toolbox port range
-A INPUT -s 138.26.84.72 -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 27370:27470 -j ACCEPT
# end MATLAB
</pre>

Once the firewall script has been updated, the firewall must be reloaded / restarted.
