Firewall Configuration

The administrator must make sure that a firewall is correctly configured to allow Global Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) to operate correctly.

Attention must be paid to the choice of ports that are used when the administrator modifies the WCF Configuration Files supplied with Global WCF.

When the user configures the WCF Endpoint, in most cases a binding will be made to a specific port (for example port 8001). The administrator must make sure that the port is not blocked in any way by a firewall.
