Question
Can the RM ports be divided or set up for both inbound /outbound rules in the firewall?
What are the correct port numbers for APX Radio management?
Should ports be set for inbound, outbound or both?
Answer
The RM ports are bi-directional, so the ports should be setup for both inbound and outbound rules in the firewall.
The following Windows Firewall ports need to be allowed for each component:
RM Server: TCP 8675, 3416, and 443, 49202, 49205-49210, 50003, 51020-51030, 65534. These ports need to be opened on the corporate firewall as well as on the RM Server.
Presence Notifier: TCP 3000 for clear, TCP 5000 for secure. These ports need to be opened on the corporate firewall and the computer in which a Device Programmer confgured for OTAP is installed.
Device Programmer DNS-SD Device Detection: UDP 5353. This port needs to be opened on both the corporate firewall and the computers in which a Device Programmer configured for the DNS-SD device detection is used for Wi-Fi programming and USB programming.
Device Programmer IP Programming: TCP 5000-50100. These ports need to be opened on the corporate firewall and computers in which a Device Programmer configured for IP Programming is installed.
RM Client: TCP 80 and TCP 443: These ports need to be opened on the corporate firewall and RM Client computers.
