10.5 Setting Windows firewall
The aim of changing firewall settings is to establish a functioning Ethernet
connection between FC360 Desktop Editor 2.0 and the panel.
The Windows firewall may prevent the PC from connecting to the panel, especially
when FC360 Desktop Editor 2.0 is used to update firmware of FC361-xx from
01.02.xx to 02.xx.xx or higher. In this case, it is necessary to change the firewall
rule settings (administrator rights are required).
