Server and client ports
In some cases, a network may utilize virtual private network (VPN) or firewall technology, which can
prohibit communication between Products and the Servers or Clients. In other words, a Server or
Client can find a Product, appear to log in, but is immediately logged out because the Product
cannot reach the Server or Client. To resolve this issue, check to determine if the ports in the table
below need to be opened up in the firewall.
NOTE
Professional edition does not support remote clients.
Table 3 lists the default port numbers and whether or not it needs to be opened up in the firewall
and includes the following information:
•
Port Number — The port at the destination end of the communication path.
•
