Firewall configuration
Configuring the firewall on Windows
NOTE:
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:
Click Start, select Control Panel, and then double-click Network Connections. The Network Connections

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

The Properties screen appears.
