Connecting Through TCP/IP Firewalls

  1. From the Silk Performer menu bar, select Tools > System Configuration Manager . The System Configuration Manager dialog box appears.
  2. Click the Service Status tab.
  3. In the Port and Secure port fields, enter the numbers of the unsecured port and the secured port. By default these settings are 19200 for the unsecured port and 19201 for the secured port, respectively. These port connections must be changed if your firewall blocks them. Ports that you might want to open on your firewall include:
    • 19200: Default connection port to Silk Performer Silk Launcher Service.
    • 19201: Secure connection to Silk Launcher Service (you only have to open this port if you want a secure connection).
    • 19202, 19203, and 19204: These ports are used for communication with Silk Performer Agent, real-time measure service and System Configuration Manager Agent. The port assignment follows a first-come, first-served pattern.
  4. Click OK to save your settings.
