ports and with specific processes.

If your Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service is running, the
FactoryTalk AssetCentre Windows Firewall Configuration window indicates this with
a green check mark. Click Start. The Rockwell Software Windows Firewall
Configuration Utility window opens. The list of exceptions (things to allow through
the firewall) generally includes default SQL Server and e-mail ports.

If no exceptions need to be made, none will be listed and the Accept button will be
unavailable. In that case, click Exit to close this utility.

If exceptions are listed, click Accept. On the Confirm Windows Firewall Changes
window make the appropriate selection depending on whether your Windows
Firewall will be on or off, and then click OK.

Checking to see if the client is installed correctly

To check if the client is correctly installed and connected to the FactoryTalk AssetCentre
server, start the client. Click Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk
AssetCentre Client > AssetCentre Client
.

When the client runs, it checks the server for the latest version of the client software and
displays a message if the client software is not the latest version (“The client and server
versions are incompatible”). To update the client software, follow the steps in “Installing
the FactoryTalk AssetCentre client software” on page 39.

For information on getting started with the software, see the online help.
