should have no problem connecting to and transferring files to and from the FTP site created for the

repository. Also, the ports used for basic HP Device Management traffic should be opened up on the

Windows Firewall. Other ports may be needed for other specific tasks that were not covered here. Please

refer to the HP Device Manager User Guide or Release Notes for a complete list of ports used by HP Device

Manager.
