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

Creating an Inbound Rule

On the Windows Server, navigate to Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.
In the list on the left, select Inbound Rules.
In the Actions menu on the right, select New Rule.
The wizard to create a New Rule will open. Select Port and press Next.
Select TCP and identify the specific ports you want to open on this inbound connection. We will need to open ports 3000-3002. Enter this range into the field provided as shown in the picture. When complete, press Next.
Allow the connection on the next prompt and press Next.
Apply the rule to Domain, Private, Public, and then press Next.
Provide the rule a Name. (We use Evoko Room Manager Incoming). Press Finish
You should now see the newly created rule in the Inbound Rules list.

Creating an Outbound Rule

Navigate to Outbound Rules in the left pane.
Select New Rule in the right-hand Actions pane.
Select Port as the Rule type and press Next.
Select TCP and identify the specific ports you want to open on this inbound connection.
- Ports 3000-3002 must be opened. Enter that range into the Specific Remote Ports field provided as shown.
- When complete, press Next.
Check the Allow the connection radio button on the next, "Which Actions..." prompt and press Next.
Apply the rule to Domain, Private, Public, and then press Next.
Provide the rule a Name. (We use Evoko Room Manager Outgoing). Press Finish
You should now see the newly created rule in the Inbound Rules list.
You have completed the task of opening ports 3000-3002 on the Evoko Home Server.
