Installing HP Device Manager

Network Requirements

The network should not contain any other running PXE servers. It should permit free communication on ports used by HP Device Man- ager. A number of UDP and TCP ports are required for client/server communication. See Table 1 for a list of standard ports required, and Table 2 for a list of custom ports required.

If you are using a Server behind a firewall, please add ports 1099 and 40002 to the exception ports in the firewall settings.
