Using Firewalls with the Windows operating system

Before you install InfoPrint Manager Transform Feature, you must give LISTEN permission in the firewall for the Windows operating system.

These ports/application entries must be given LISTENpermission in the firewall:

  • Port 6980 for install_path\itm\clients\fdi\fdi.exe.
  • Ports 6984 and 6985 for install_path\itm\hn\feps.exe.
  • Port 6986 for install_path\itm\clients\coord\coord.exe.
  • Port 6988+<N> for install_path\itm\node<N>\node.exe.

    Where <N> is between 1 and the total number of configured compute nodes. For example, if N is 2, port for install_path\itm\node1\node.exe is 6989 and port for install_path\itm\node2\node.exe is 6990.

These applications must be allowed to make outgoing connections to the ports indicated on any machine: fdi.exe, feps.exe, coord.exe, pd.exe, node.exe, ctt_standalone.exe

  • install_path\itm\clients\fdi\fdi.exe to port 6984.
  • install_path\itm\hn\feps.exe to port 6986.
  • install_path\itm\clients\coord\coord.exe to ports 6984 and 6986.
  • install_path\itm\hn\pd\pd.exe to port 6984.
  • install_path\itm\node<N>\node.exe to port 6985.
  • install_path\itm\node<N>\xforms\ctt_standalone\ctt_standalone.exe to port 6988+<N>.

    Where <N> is between 1 and the total number of compute nodes configured. For example, if N is 2, port for install_path\itm\node1\xforms\ctt_standalone\ctt_standalone.exe is 6989 and port for install_path\itm\node2\xforms\ctt_standalone\ctt_standalone.exe is 6990.

    Note:
  • The total number of compute nodes configured is equal to the total number of cores on the system. For example, on a 2 CPU, 1 core/CPU system the total number of compute nodes is 2. On a 4 CPU, 4 core system, the total number of compute nodes is 4*4 = 16.
