## Ports used by VIOSO

To ensure VIOSO 6 functions properly, it's essential to allow the application to communicate through the Windows Firewall. Here is a list of ports (default settings) that need to be open:

### For Remote Control

* **TCP Port**: 8317
* **UDP Port**: 817

## Configuring the Windows Firewall:

**1. Open Windows Defender Firewall:**

* **Windows 10**: Type "Windows Defender Firewall" in the Start menu search bar and select "Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security."
* **Windows 11**: Search for "Firewall & network protection" in the Start menu and click on it.

**2. Create a New Inbound and Outbound Rule:**

* **Inbound Rule**:
  * In the Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security window, click on "Inbound Rules" on the left-hand side.
  * Click on "New Rule..." on the right-hand side.
  * Select "Program" and click "Next."
  * Browse and select the executable file `C:\ProgramFiles\VIOSO6\SPCalibrator64.exe`, then click "Next."
  * Choose "Allow the connection" and click "Next."
  * Apply the rule to all network types ( Domain, Private, Public).
  * Enter a name and optional description for the rule, then click "Finish."
* **Outbound Rule**:
  * Follow the same steps as above, but choose "Outbound Rules" instead of "Inbound Rules."

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.vioso.com/preparation/network/firewall-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
