HP MFP Sending Software 4.9X manual Port requirements, 4Ports used by DSS

Port requirements

DSS 4.91 uses a number of industry standard network protocols and their corresponding TCP and UDP ports in order to facilitate its Digital Sending functionality, such as Send to E-mail, Send To Folder, Authentication, and LDAP Replication. This section gives an overview of which ports are used in different configurations.

In its most basic configuration, DSS 4.91 requires ports 1783, 5213, 7627 and 161 to function. At install time DSS will register itself with the desktop firewall to ensure connections are allowed on these ports. Administrators may refer to the table in this section to determine which ports are required for their specific configuration of DSS 4.91.

Ports used

DSS uses the TCP/IP protocol to communicate on the network. Which TCP or UDP ports are used depends on which features are enabled in DSS 4.91 and which underlying protocols facilitate these features. Also, note that for each protocol DSS acts as a server or client, or both. The following table provides an overview. Administrators should ensure that the required ports are open at appropriate points in the network, for example, desktop firewall, switches and routers.
