Checking for Open Ports

You must ensure that all required ports are open for inbound/outbound traffic. By default, Planning and Consolidation requires that Port 80 (used by http) is open.

To test whether the required port is open, go to a command prompt and enter Telnet <serveripaddress>. For example, Telnet 43.118.18.36 80. If the system returns a blank command window, the port is open. If it returns a message stating that it cannot connect, the port is not open.
