Disabling the Personal Firewall
In general, Vicon does not recommend disabling the Personal Firewall feature, as this may leave the
operating system vulnerable and exposed to various security risks that can attack through the network. Vicon
supports only ViconNet application ports and recommends that customers not change any of the default
settings. Vicon takes no responsibility if customers change any of the default settings or disable this feature
completely.
There are, however, a few circumstances where the Personal Firewall configuration must be either extended
or disabled completely to enable additional communication channels between the Kollector and other
devices/computers over the network, for example:
• When working in the Windows NT domain network environment
• When using the Microsoft RDP protocol for remote control support (Remote Desktop Connection)
NOTE: This option can be opened separately without disabling the Personal Firewall completely, as
described below.
• When debugging communication using the Ping protocol
To disable the firewall:
1. Repeat steps 1 through 5 in the To configure the firewall procedure on page 281.
2. Click the Advanced tab and deselect the checkbox in the Internet Connection Firewall area.
3. Click OK and then click Close to close the Local Area Connection Status window.
