How to open ports for Evoko Home on Windows Server?

There are a handful of ports that must be accessible for the Evoko Home Service to work. In this guide, we will cover how to open Ports 3000, 3001, and 3002 for a Windows Server by creating inbound/outbound rules. You can repeat this process for other ports if they also need to be configured.

  • Accessible ports for HTTP and HTTPS protocols, the default ports are TCP 3000 (HTTP), 3001 (SNMP) and TCP 3002 (HTTPS).
  • Accessible booking system (e.g. Office 365) over HTTPS port TCP 443
  • Access to NTP Server over port UDP 123
