2 Avid Network Ports
Most facilities that have an Avid network environment use firewalls to protect their corporate network. You often
need to open holes in your firewall to allow Avid components to communicate with each other in that network.
This section list the ports used in the ISIS and Interplay environments.

There is a wide range of ports used by the Windows operating system that provide network services for Avid
products. For information on ports used by the Windows operating system, see the Microsoft documentation.
