ThinMan uses specific network ports to communicate with remote devices. When remote devices are behind either a firewall or a router, it may be necessary to configure those ports for ThinMan to get access to the remote devices. The following table describes the ports used by ThinMan (Incoming Ports are those listened by ThinMan software, Outgoing Ports are those connected on devices by ThinMan software).
The ports must be open on the operating system firewall or on the network firewall.
NOTE: Incoming and Outgoing Ports
Incoming Ports: ThinMan <---- Devices
Outgoing Ports: ThinMan ----> Devices
