Firewall Issues

PMS Monitor talks to the hospitality server using TCP/IP port numbers in the range 51000-51199.  Which ports it uses depend on the number of hospitality server instances are running on your system.

 

For a typical system with only one server instance, PMS Monitor will use ports 51001 and 51101.  A second instance would use 51002 and 51102.  And so forth.

 

Any firewall software should be configured to allow TCP communication over these ports or PMS Monitor will not be able to connect to the hospitality server.
