Note
After installation, the
PC Call Server
will
automatically be registered to the Windows
Firewall to allow incoming and outgoing network
traffic. If the PC uses a different firewall than the
standard Windows firewall, the
PC Call Server
must be manually registered to that firewall as
exception to avoid that the firewall blocks the
network traffic without notice. Blocked network
traffic causes the application to malfunction.
