Firewall

Setup will add firewall rules, when installing on the server, to allow workstations to perform DB auto discovery and communicate with the DB. If your server uses third-party firewall software or anti-virus software that includes a software firewall such as (McAfee Total Protection, Sophos Endpoint Protection, BitDefender Total Security, Norton Security or others) then you will need to add rules in the relevant security software.
