Configuring the passive port range for the FTP service This section details how to configure the server-level port range for passive connections for the data channel from devices. Although the FTP client used by the HPDM Agent on the devices supports both active and passive modes for the data channel, the passive mode enables the device to initiate both control and data connections to the server, preventing a firewall from filtering the incoming data port connection to the device from the server.

Configuring the external IPv4 address for the FTP site You must specify the external address of the firewall (in most cases, this is just the IP address of the server itself) in the FTP site configuration to accept passive connections when the Windows Firewall is enabled. To configure the external IPv4 address for the FTP site: 1. 2. 3. 4. Click Start > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
