To enable a connection to a controller on a subnet or over the local network, the relevant network traffic must be allowed through any firewalls between the PC and the controller.
The firewalls must be configured to accept the following TCP/IP traffic from the PC to the controller:
UDP port 5514 (unicast)
TCP port 5515
Passive FTP
All TCP and UPD connections to remote controllers are initiated by the PC, that is the controller only responds on the given source port and address.
Firewall settings
The firewall settings are applicable irrespective of whether you are connected to a real controller or a virtual controller.
