What should my Firewall settings be?
FIREWALL SETTINGS
Server
Setup will add firewall rules, when installing on the server, to allow workstations to perform DB auto discovery and communicate with the DB. If your server uses third-party firewall software or anti-virus software that includes a software firewall such as (McAfee Total Protection, Sophos Endpoint Protection, BitDefender Total Security, Norton Security or others) then you will need to add rules in the relevant security software to allow the following:
For versions 3.2 and above:
- inward bound traffic on UDP and TCP port 96
- outward bound traffic on UDP 49201-49220
- inward bound traffic on TCP port 3050
Note: The above settings are the defaults and may be different if the NovaCore Data Server settings have been changed (in NovaCoreDS.ini file) or if the NovaCore workstation settings have been changed (in novacore.ini file).

For older versions of NovaCore use the following:

- inward bound traffic on UDP 49201-49220
- outward bound traffic on TCP port 3050
Note: The above settings are the defaults and may be different if the NovaCore Data Server settings have been changed.
