Firewall configuration

Configuring the firewall on Windows

NOTE:

For other operating systems, see the operating system documents on enabling or

disabling ports on the firewall.

Windows Firewall blocks most communication through unused IP ports. This prevents a server with the HPPP

Client installed from using the following four ports to communicate with the UPS Network Module:

4679/UDP and TCP (Client)

4680/UDP and TCP (Client)

5000/TCP (Alarms)

5001/TCP (Alarms)

To configure the Windows XP with Service Pack 2 Firewall to make an exception for ports 4679, 4680,

5000, and 5001:

1.

Click Start, select Control Panel, and then double-click Network Connections. The Network Connections
screen appears.

2.

Right-click the network connection where you are configuring the firewall, and then select Properties.

The Properties screen appears.
