Network Ports Needed for Enterprise Server

The following ports should be open in any firewalls (hardware and software) for proper function of the Enterprise Server. The default installation of the Enterprise Server includes enabling the Windows Firewall. This covers all versions of Enterprise Server.

HTTP -- For the server web interface and for activating ME Pro encoders. Files served to Decoders/Media Players are also transferred through this port.
Port: TCP 80
Direction: Inbound and outbound
Activation can be performed over TCP 85 if required; this requires a setting change on the server.

Authentication -- Web user authentication.
Port: TCP 80 and 443
Direction: inbound
TCP 443 is required for HTTPS authentication which is not yet a released feature (Nov. 2013)

Video streams -- from Encoder and to Decoder/Media Player:
Port: UDP 1770
Direction: Inbound and outbound
Port: UDP 1900 (for BGAN HDR Streams)
Direction: Inbound and outbound

IFB -- Enterprise Server can operate as an IFB server to transmit audio from the ES location to remote clients.
Port: UDP 5926
Direction: Inbound and outbound
Required only for IFB users.

Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) -- Remote access to the server operating system (Windows Server) for updates, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Port: TCP 3389
Direction: Inbound and outbound

File Upload (Store & Forward) -- File uploads by the Store & Forward Clients installed on many existing products including Avenir, StreamboxME Pro, and Streambox App.
Port: UDP 2051
Direction: Inbound
Optional

ABN -- Legacy bandwidth measurement mode. ABN with LDMP uses UDP 1770
Port: UDP 2060
Direction: Inbound and outbound
Optional

NOTE: For maximum security, only UDP 1770 is needed for normal day-to-day use with live streams. The Activation port is only needed once at the time of installation.
