daemon listens on port 2301 to start an instance of the management server.
Configuring Firewall Settings
Windows
Some operating systems including Windows XP with Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003 SBS
implement a firewall that prevents browsers from accessing the ports required for the Version Control
Repository Manager access. To resolve this issue, configure the firewall with exceptions to enable browsers
to access the ports used by HP SIM and Version Control Repository Manager.
NOTE: For Windows XP with Service Pack 2, the firewall configuration leaves the default SP2 security
enhancements intact, but enables traffic over the ports. These ports are required for the Version Control
Repository Manager to run. The secure and insecure ports must be added to enable proper communication
with your browser.
To configure the firewall:
1. Select Start→Settings Control Panel.
2. To configure the firewall settings, double-click Windows Firewall.
3. Select Exceptions.
4. Click Add Port.
5. Enter the following product name and the port number information.
Add the exceptions listed in the following table to the firewall protection:
