To automatically configure Windows Firewall with WFCU:

1. Go to the computer on which you have the particular

Historian suite installed.

2. Check the location of the Common Files folder on the

computer for the 32-bit operating system. You will need it in

the command line.

3. Open the Command Prompt window.
4. Type the command provided in the table below.

For this FactoryTalk Historian suite:

Run these commands:
