Prerequisites

To follow the steps in this document DriveWorks Pro Server is required to be installed.

This article only applies to Windows Defender Firewall. Other Firewalls may have similar settings that can be applied.

The user logged onto the DriveWorks Pro Server machine is required to be an Administrators group member to perform the steps in this document.

Configure Windows Firewall

DriveWorks Pro Server requires Inbound Rules to be applied to the following ports:

8025 (UDP) - This port allows DriveWorks Pro Server to be discovered by other DriveWorks Pro modules.
54380 (TCP) - This port allows access to DriveWorks Pro Server data.
54380 is the default ApplicationHttpPort DriveWorks Pro Server will use.
This will change if the DriveWorks Pro Server Configuration File has been modified to use a different port for the ApplicationHttpPort or ApplicationHttpsPort.
See Configuration File - Port Settings for more information.

Create an Inbound Rule for the discovery port (8025 UDP)

Open Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security.
Select Inbound Rules from the left hand column of the Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security window.
Click New Rule... from the Actions column on the right.
From the New Inbound Rule Wizard, select Port.

Select UDP.
Select Specific local ports.
Enter 8025.
Click Next.
Select Allow the connection.
Click Next.
Select Domain, Private and Public.
Click Next.
Enter a name for the rule.
For example: DriveWorks Pro Server UDP.
