20.2 Firewall configuration
A correct firewall configuration is essential for successful establishing a communication between
CIBANO 500 and your computer.
Note: Any change to the firewall settings mentioned in this section requires administrator rights on your
computer.
20.2.1 Windows firewall
The configuration of the Windows firewall is carried out automatically during the installation of Primary
Test Manager. However, in certain cases this may have no immediate effect.
► To prevent the Windows firewall from blocking communication, (temporarily) disable it via the
Windows Control panel.
If you are now able to successfully establish communication, the Windows firewall was the reason for
the blocked communication between your test set and your computer.
► Reconfigure the Windows firewall in order to enable a permanent use of the test set without having
to disable the Windows firewall.
For more information, see20.2.3 "Manual firewall configuration" later in this section.
20.2.2 Third-party firewall
► If you are using a firewall other than the Windows firewall, temporarily disable it to see if this firewall
may be the cause for the blocked communication.
For more information on configuring a third-party firewall to allow a permanent communication between
CIBANO 500 and your computer, see 20.2.3 "Manual firewall configuration" later in this section.
Note: Numerous computer security programs or anti-virus packages also contain an integrated firewall
function. Double-check and, if applicable, remove all such programs that may be installed on your
computer.
