Additional disk space may be needed to hold alarm logs and other runtime data. The amount of space depends on

the number of devices and the number of traps and syslog messages generated by the managed devices.

Allowing Clients Access to the Server from Behind a Firewall

If the EPICenter server is located behind a firewall, you must allow EPICenter clients access through the

firewall. To do this, use the following procedure:

1 Launch the EPICenter client from the same machine were the server is installed.

2 Expand the EPICenter Administration folder

3 Click Users, Roles & Servers

4 Click the Server Properties tab

5 Select Other from the drop-down list

6 In the Client Port field, specify an available port number (the default of 0 means any random

available port)

7 Click Apply to apply the setting.

8 Stop and restart the EPICenter server. For instructions, see the EPICenter Installation and Upgrade

Guide.

9 In the settings for your firewall, allow exceptions for the following ports:

● The HTTP port used for communication with EPICenter clients (default is 8080)

● Port 3873

● The Client Port you specified in step 6 above
