Firewall configuration

To use a firewall, settings in both the Launcher Administration and Management Console must be configured. Configuration for assigning port numbers for the firewall must be enabled for both.

By default, the Launcher opens anonymous ports for 2-way communication with the Management Console. If there is a firewall in place, fixed port numbers are required. To assign specific port numbers for the Launcher, you must enable the Enable Configuration option and either accept the default port numbers or enter specific ones.

To assign fixed port numbers in the Launcher Administration for firewall use

  1. From the Launcher Administration Options tab, select the Firewall option.

    Firewall configuration options appear.

  2. Enable the Enable Configuration option.

    The Server Port and Client Port fields become active.

  3. Enter specific port numbers in the Server Port and Client Port fields, or accept the default values (4634 and 4635).
