The simplest method for making all the connections from (1) to (11) is to configure all the devices in the
same network segment.
For FTP communication [connections (2) (3) (5) (10)], because connection is obtained in passive mode,
communication can be performed even if the FTP server is installed on an external network (such as the
Internet).
If the DCM server is located in the Internet, the SQL Server communications [connections (1)] can be
performed only if the port of SQL Server instance is fixed and set to enable the port. See followings section
for more information.

The HTTPS communication [connections (12) (13)] can be performed for ordinary network even if the
server is located in the Internet.
For other communication [connections (4) (6) (7) (8) (9) (11)], a local network is required. Operation is not
possible in networks called NAT and NAPT that convert the IP address and port number. For this reason, to
configure a DCM system between points that are distant from each other, a local network must be
constructed using technology such as VPN.
IV-1-2. Checking the network communication
Use the ping command to check the network reachability. From the computer’s [Start] menu, select [All
Programs]->[Accessories]->[Command Prompt] to check the network communication.
If the ping does not get through, check items such as the IP address that is assigned to each device, and
the physical network cables. Also, check the following item.
[IV-13. Windows Firewall Settings]
After confirming there is a ping response and communication between the devices is enabled, see [III
Operation Checks] and check whether the schedule update operation can be performed.
