Network Considerations & Port Usage
TCP/UDP Port Usage
The various Kaleido-X services require access to specific ports. In networks where a firewall
is present between device A and device B, the ports used to communicate from device A to
device B must be open on the incoming (external) side of the firewall.
From Client to Multiviewer
The following ports must be open on the Client (e.g. workstation running XEdit):
From Multiviewer to Client
From Multiviewer to Multiviewer
The following ports, used for inter-frame communications, are open by default on all
Kaleido-X systems:
Note: All necessary ports are open by default on the multiviewer. There is
no mechanism provided for changing the default settings.
Service Port Transport Notes
HTTP 80 TCP Used by XEdit and XAdmin
5122 TCP Used by XEdit for “keep alive” (heartbeat)
5432 TCP Used by XEdit for export operations
13000 TCP Online connection
13100 TCP Used for calibration data from XEdit
RCP2 5120 TCP Used to listen for Kaleido-X discovery packets
10000 TCP For RCP2 protocol
10001 TCP For RCP2 protocol
5120 UDP On multicast 230.8.8.9 for RCP2 protocol
5121 UDP For RCP2 protocol

Required for communication between client
and Application Server.

SSH 22 TCP Secure Shell Login is required to login to a
multiviewer for maintenance.
Java Jini 4160 TCP Responsible for discovery and
communications between devices/services on
a network.
