Om de ThinKnx goed te kunnen laten werken, hebben deze services toegang nodig tot bepaalde internetdiensten en is er optioneel port forwarding nodig. Hierna volgen alle betrokken poorten en hosts met specificaties van de richting en de bestemming.
| Service | Host port and protocol | Comments | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| NTP | 123 (TCP and UDP) outbound/inbound | Used to sync clock with NTP servers. | 1) |
| Thinknx cloud | *.thinknx.eu 80, 443, 24532 (TCP) outbound | Used to connect to Thinknx cloud service | 2) |
| Thinknx projects sync | data.thinknx.eu projects.thinknx.cloud 80, 443 (TCP) outbound | Used to download project updates from cloud | 3) |
| Thinknx clients | 7550 (TCP) inbound | Used by client to connect to server for control | 4) |
| Thinknx clients (cloud) | cloud.thinknx.eu 24531 (TCP) outbound | Used by client to connect to server using cloud for control | 5) |
| Internal webpage | 5051 (TCP) inbound | Used to connect to server webpage for maintenance | 6) |
| Remote assistance | www.pulsareng.it 80, 443 (TCP) outbound | Used to sync with remote assistance service | 7) |
1)
This service is mandatory to sync clock with internet services. Server can act as NTP server as well (inbound connection) and it is advised to use just for local network (not exposed to the internet)
4)
Port 7550 inbound is only required when direct client connection is adopted. It usually requires to create port forwarding rules on router/firewall depending on network infrastructure
6)
Access to webpages is not required and it is advised not to expose to the internet
7)
Remote assistance service used on request to obtain factory support
