Network Ports

A full installation of SOTI Connect uses many ports for communication. The installer will add rules to the Windows Firewall as necessary. In case you have additional network security, be aware that you might need to open additional ports for SOTI Connect to communicate properly.

Note: All ports listed on this page are default ports.
This page features four main categories of network ports:
  • Essential SOTI Connect ports
  • Mandatory and optional ports used by third-party entities to communicate with Connect (for example, SQL Server)
  • Mandatory ports for third-party gateways such as Honeywell Cloud Connect and simulators
  • Additional ports that are used only internally in third-party entities, which might be useful for troubleshooting purposes

The following optional components' ports are user-configurable in the SOTI Connect user interface:

  • Management server for certificate authentication (SOTI Identity [identity.soti.net])
  • Registry service
  • Syslog server
  • Proxy server
  • Slack server
  • Email server
