Describes the network firewall considerations for a deviceWISE gateway or the Workbench.
Ports used by the Workbench to connect to a deviceWISE gateway
The protocol and ports used by the deviceWISE Workbench to communicate with a deviceWISE gateway are listed below.
Your environment may require an authorized team member to change the firewall configuration on the gateway operating system or in your network infrastructure to allow a Workbench to scan for and connect to a deviceWISE gateway.
| Protocol:Port | Description |
|---|---|
| TCP:4012 | Primary communication between the Workbench and a deviceWISE gateway. |
| UDP:4009 | Used by the Workbench to Scan for a gateway and for gateway status information. |
Ports used by TR50 to connect to the IoT Portal
The configuration of the TR50 connection includes the selection of the Connection Type. For more information, see TR50 Connection Management tab.
Additional ports used for enterprise application and devices
Your application may be using features that require additional ports and the corresponding firewall permissions.
For example:
- Accessing a database server and configuring the Transports for the database server connection parameters, including the port to use.
- Accessing a device and configuring the connection parameters for the specific Device types.
