Most home and small business networks allow all outbound connections by default. You do not have to do anything in this case.
The Sofar EMS requires that outbound connections in the network firewall are allowed on the following ports:
The Sofar EMS does not require opening any network ports for inbound connections.
It is strongly discouraged and NOT necessary to configure your firewall to port forward or allow incoming TCP and UDP connections on the listed ports above! This is a serious security risk.
To avoid connectivity issues after future updates, it is recommended to whitelist all the eniris.be and eniris.io domains with a wildcard:
At least the following Sofar domains are used at present by the Sofar EMS:
The Sofar EMS is by default configured to use DHCP. You can change this to a fixed IP address in the 'Settings' tab of the commissioning interface.
Only configure a fixed IP address in the Sofar EMS if you have no other choice. It is recommended to always use DHCP, and configure your router to always assign the same IP address to the Sofar EMS instead!
Write down the IP address you configure. You will need this if the Sofar EMS would become inaccessible after changing the IP address!
Lost access to the commissioning interface If you lose access to the commissioning interface after setting a fixed IP address, then check out the troubleshooting section.
As an optional security measure, the Sofar EMS can be placed within a dedicated VLAN. When implementing this configuration, ensure that all devices requiring communication with the controller are assigned to the same VLAN.
