The Prinergy Evo Client software must have Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) access to the server. The Prinergy Evo Client software requires two TCP ports and one UDP port to be used in tunnel mode. For example, the Prinergy Evo Client software can connect to a server over a Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) or virtual private network (VPN) connection that is not filtering traffic. The port numbers Prinergy Evo uses for client connections are:
Service | Protocol | Port Number |
|---|---|---|
Client XML RPC | TCP | 29001 (default) |
Client Notification | TCP | Variable (default) |
Client Locator | UDP | 50007 |
The two TCP ports can be reconfigured to always “float” (that is, their actual port number is decided when the Prinergy Evo system starts) or to be a fixed value. By default, the XML RPC service port number is hard-wired to 29001 but the Client Notification service port number “floats”.
The Client Locator service cannot be changed.
To change the port numbers for the two TCP ports, edit the configuration file in your Prinergy Evo server installation directory using the path: <your server's hard drive>\Program Files (x86)\Kodak\Prinergy Evo <version number>\config_data\System\UIServer-Local\config.txt
You can use a text editor to modify this file.
Look for these lines in the configuration file:
Prinergy.JUIS.XmlRpcServicePort=29001
Prinergy.JUIS.RemoteMonitorServicePort=0
Any item set to 0 will “float.” Otherwise, the system uses the port number you suggest. If that port is already in use by another process the server will fail to start, so be careful with your choice of hard-wired port numbers. Once you edit the configuration file, restart the Prinergy Evo Server software. If you run into problems, use the original copy of the config.txt file and restart.
Note: The software firewall that ships with Windows Server 2008 is not supported on a Prinergy Evo server. Activating the built-in Windows firewall will cause unpredictable system behavior. Any firewalling requirements must be met with an external device. Choices include a hardware firewall, software firewall running on another (non-workflow) server, or a firewall appliance in a virtual environment. Placement of the firewall in your network infrastructure is important, as Prinergy Evo requires specific ports to be opened between the Evo server and client workstations. Information about the firewall requirements of InSite Prepress Portal, InSite Creative Workflow and other Kodak portal products can be found in the respective products' documentation.
