Communication or firewall settings in the network

In most networks, no special approvals or port activations are required to use KentixONE. KentixONE Cloud uses the same communication and security procedures as modern IoT and web applications and does not require insecure activation of IP ports from outside (inbound) into the network.

However, if firewall rules are required to communicate with the KentixONE-GO servers from the network (outbound) or to restrict communication, the following information may be helpful:

Communication port of the KentixONE server: :

• TCP 443 (https)

DNS names of the KentixONE servers:

• cloud.kentixone.com
• auth.cloud.kentixone.com
• gateway.cloud.kentixone.com
