Firewall Rules for View Transfer Server
Certain incoming TCP ports must be opened on the firewall for View Transfer Server instances.
The installation program can optionally configure the required Windows firewall rules for you. These rules
open the ports that are used by default. If you change the default ports after installation, you must manually
configure the Windows firewall to allow View Client devices to connect to View Transfer Server through the
updated ports.
Table 6-1 lists the incoming TCP ports that must be opened on the firewall for View Transfer Server
instances.

Installing View Transfer Server Silently
You can install View Transfer Server silently by typing the installer filename and installation options at the
command line. With silent installation, you can efficiently deploy View components in a large enterprise.

to allow installation with elevated privileges.
You must set Windows Installer group policies for computers and for users on the local computer.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have local administrator privileges on the Windows Server computer on which you will
install View Transfer Server.
