Use a command prompt to configure a firewall port exception

To configure the firewall through the command line, first open the Windows Command Prompt. Then, type the following command:

netsh.exe advfirewall firewall add rule name="<Description>" dir=in action-allow protocol=TCP localport=<PortNumber>

Where:

<Description> = the description used to describe this firewall rule

<PortNumber> = the TCP port to open

For example:

netsh.exe advfirewall firewall add rule name ="Open Port 8080 for InTouch Access Anywhere" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=8080
