Firewall Applications

ELM is firewall friendly. Service Agents communicate with ELM Servers using a single TCP socket that is customizable. Because ELM listens on only one port by default, security implications of FTP or RPC communications through the firewall are eliminated.

You can configure the Service Agent and the ELM Server to listen on any available TCP port for communications. In addition, each Service Agent can use different ports, enabling you to customize ELM's socket usage to suit your needs.

Please Note: By default, all ELM Solutions listen on TCP port 1251.
