Firewall Settings

If a firewall is installed in the system, you must modify the firewall settings to open certain RSM ports and provide RSM the functionality to communicate properly with the RSM Site Server (SE).

For systems using the Windows Firewall, the RPSW installation package opens the following required ports for the system, unless you choose not to modify the firewall settings:

•TCP 8502—RSM File Agent (required only for file distribution or retrieval features with RSM servers)

•UDP 68—DHCP/PXE client

•TCP 8504—RSMDesktopAgent.exe

•TCP 5800—VNC Server for Win32 (if you selected to install VNC)

•TCP 5900—VNC Server for Win32 (if you selected to install VNC)

•TCP 16992—RSM AMT Agent (Terminals 7459, 7350, 7403, and 7409 only)

•TCP 16993—RSM AMT Agent (Terminals 7459, 7350, 7403, and 7409 only)

If you do not permit the RPSW installation to open the ports, you must manually configure the settings.

For systems using the Windows Firewall, select StartàSettingsàControl PanelàWindows FirewallàExceptions to open the required RSM ports, depending on the location and intended use.

If a different firewall is used, open the RSM ports using the appropriate procedure for the firewall being used.

For more information about the ports used for RSM communication, refer to the NCR Retail Systems Manager Software User’s Guide (B005–0000–1518).
