PrinterOn Server network port usage
The following table provides an overview of all ports used by the PrinterOn Servers. The ports listed below cover all sub-components of the server.
Note:
Some ports are used for interprocess communication on a local server. They are required but do not pose a security risk. A local firewall may be used to block the ports, as long as it does not interfere with local communication.
Some ports, such as the PrintAnywhere ports for Processing Server and Status Server communication, are used for both interprocess communication AND clustering.
If clustering is not enabled, a local firewall may be used to block the ports, as long as they do not interfere with local communication.
If clustering is enabled, access can be limited to end points in the cluster.
Some ports are configured as optional alternatives during installation, such as port 8080 in PDS. You can reconfigure and/or disable these ports if necessary.
Some ports above 10000 may be created temporarily for interprocess communications on the same server. These are expected and may change from instance to instance.
