1.7 PC Firewall
When using Windows XP and Windows 7 with iSite version 3.1 and above, it is necessary to
disable or modify the Windows Firewall for full functionality of some features.
For Windows 7, because the Firewall may be selectively applie
d to separate domains, iDirect
recommends that the Firewall remain enabled, but that the iSite application be granted
access as an allowed application. Refer to Figure 1 for the following procedure:
To Configure Windows 7 Firewall for iSite:
1. Open the Control P
anel and click Windows Firewall.
2. In the left-hand viewing pane, select Ad
vanced Settings. A new window opens.
3. In the left-hand pane of
the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security window, click
Inbound Rules.
4. Scroll to iSi
te in the center viewing pane. Right-click and select Properties.
5. In the Genera
l tab under Action, select Allow the connection.
6. Click OK.
7. Repeat for other instances of iSite in the scroll-down list.
8. Close F
irewall windows.
