Default Windows Firewall rules

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-28

I just installed a Smart-UPS 750 and the PBEAgent 10.0.1.

It configured a inbound firewall rule that allows all ports access, both UDP and TCP.

What are the exact ports used? I'd like to limit these rules to just the ports being used.

FYI: I tried 80, 443, 6547, 3052. but I could not connect.

Local connections work fine (localhost:6547)

Thank You.

Hi Martin,

PCBE only uses port 6547.

See FAQ below for confirmation:

If you want to post a screenshot of the rules you've created and confirm that you have no other software on your PC that might be blocking, it's quite common for AV to also include a firewall.

Yes you are correct, only port.6547.

I had an incorrect setting in the 'Programs and services tab',

If you only allow the PBE Agent service it does not work.

You need to allow the program C:\Program Files (x86)\APC\PowerChute Business Edition\agent\pbeagent.exe

Thanks
