Network & Firewall
The Site Controller software requires communication with the azeti Engine to send out data and to receive configurations. Therefore some network ports must be opened to run the overall solution properly. Different types of communication is involved and it is mandatory to configure your firewall accordingly for proper functionality.
SIte Controller to azeti Engine
The Site Controller software running on your edge device requires outgoing traffic towards its destination azeti Engine server.
User Browser to azeti Engine
The azeti Engine is a web application that uses the WebSockets technology for communication and thus requires ports to be opened between the azeti Engine Server and the users web browser.
