The Plant SCADA Access Anywhere Server service is configured to run automatically on system startup. If the service is stopped or is unable to listen on its default port (8080), clients will not be able to connect to that host.

Configure firewalls and proxies between the end-point devices and the server-side component to allow communication using port 8080, or use the Plant SCADA Access Anywhere Secure Gateway (see the Access Anywhere Secure Gateway Installation Guide).

Note: Plant SCADA Access Anywhere Server cannot be installed on systems where the host name contains non-English characters.
