CM4D relies on various ports for communication between the different areas of the CM4D system. If you are using a single machine with a combination of implementation types, make sure it has all applicable rules.
The following are the default primary ports used with CM4D, but please also refer to the System Requirements for a full description.
- Open the following Firewall ports:
- TCP 36057 - Client PCs need access to the automation server running Scheduler services to be able to manage Scheduler jobs via Scheduler Manager.
- TCP 8001 - Client PCs need access to the ATS Licensing Server to retrieve CM4D licenses.
- TCP 80 - Web clients need access to the server hosting CM4D Web.
- TCP 1433 - Database servers must allow access to any clients connecting to CM4D databases.
