Networking and Firewall Info
The Envoy communicates with the Enphase Enlighten website by initiating outbound TCP
(Transmission Control Protocol) connections to Enphase over HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol
over Secure Socket Layer) (TCP:443). The Envoy uses NTP (Network Time Protocol) (UDP:123) to
periodically synchronize time/date with an external pool of NTP servers. You do not need to open
any inbound firewall ports for normal operation.
NOTE: The Envoy automatically reports system performance data to Enphase upon
connection to the Internet. Please consult the Enphase privacy policy at
http://www.enphase.com/privacy/ to learn more about Enphase's use of this data.
