Firewall

Hi
Please can someone advise on what I need to do to input the Firewall settings so I can install Acronis True Image? Do I set up port forwarding on our router and assign the ports the IP addresses detailed below?

Also, Where do I put the multicast addresses?

This is the bit I'm not sure about.

2.2.2 Firewall setup
Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server uses the following ports and IP
addresses for remote operation:

server (Acronis True Image Agent) UDP port: 9876
server (Acronis True Image Agent) TCP port: 9876, if busy choose a port at random
client (Acronis True Image Management Console) UDP port: 9877, if busy choose a port
at random

IPv4 multicast address: 239.255.219.45
IPv6 multicast address: FF05::fAA5:741E.

Please help!

 

Not sure what you are asking but all I have ever done and understand you have to do is disable the firewall and antivirus protection and then install and then re-activate them. Has worked for me last 5 years.

 

Thanks for your reply.

In the installation instructions it says

What I'm confused about is where I need to input these details for the software to function correctly. I'm even more confused about the IPv4 and IPv6 multicast addresses.

 

Most modern security progs will detect ATI and make appropriate settings. How to manually change such settings depends on the particular software and you should contact the firewall maker for info on those instructions.
