Other Requirements

The CESM program modules (Console, Service and Agent) may require Windows Firewall and/or personal firewall configuration changes in order to operate successfully. By default, the CESM Central Service is assigned:

  • TCP Port 9901 for connections with the CESM Agent

  • TCP Port 9001 for connections with CESM Administrative Console

These ports can be opened in Windows Firewall by opening the control panel, selecting 'Windows Firewall > Exceptions > Add Port...' then specifying each of the ports above in turn.

The CESM console receives callbacks on a random, ephemeral port. Therefore, the machine on which the Administrative Console is installed needs to be able to accept incoming connections to the console. This can be done in Windows Firewall by adding the Administrative Console to the list of trusted applications. To do this – open the control panel, select 'Windows Firewall > Exceptions > Add Program... then choose 'CESM Console' from the list of programs.
