Network#

Firewall systems help prevent unauthorized access to computer resources. If a firewall is turned on but not correctly configured, attempts to connect to Critical Manufacturing MES might be blocked.

The ports chosen during the Critical Manufacturing MES installation in the Network Configuration process must be configured in the firewall to allow the application server to receive requests.

To allow database communication between the application servers and the database servers, the SQL Server ports must be configured in the firewall.

For more information on how to configure the firewall to allow SQL Server Access, refer to the URLs below:
