Hi, 

I want to enable DCE to connect to https://updates.apc.com so that it can check my devices FW and perform updates. Now, my network security team would only allow port 443 to be open no FTP option. Would HTTPS/443 open be sufficient for what I'm trying to accomplish?  If not where can I manually download the Appliance catalog so that I imported into the Data Center Expert server?

Thank you.

Cristian,

That would not be enough as FTP and HTTPS would be required.  For details please see knowledge base FA293307. 

For instructions on manually adding the firmware catalog, please see knowledge base FA226042.

Best Regards,

Cory
