Overview

The XcaliburW server facilitates communication and management of devices via specific networking protocols. This guide explains the essential and optional configurations to ensure proper operation.

Mandatory: IIS Communication

• Port: 443 (HTTPS)
• Purpose: Secure communication between client devices and the server.
  • File transfer
  • Task transfer
  • Device monitoring
  • Maintenance tasks/automated tasks

Optional Configurations

Repeater VNC (Optional)

To use the VNC feature (remote access), configure the repeater:

• Default Port: 5500 (client → server)
• Features Enabled:
  • Remote desktop sessions.
• Firewall Compliance: Option to set port 80.
• Admin Access: Connect through ports 5900–5920 (admin → server).

Broker MQTT (Optional)

Improves task execution speed by increasing pulse frequency:

• Default Port: 1883 (client → server)
• Purpose: Synchronizes task publication for instant-publish mode.

Discovery (Optional)

Allows server to discover devices on the same network:

• Default Port: 9999 (server → client)

Pulse System

• Client-Initiated Communication: All communication is initiated by client devices, with the server responding to agent requests.
• Pulse Frequency: Devices communicate with the server based on the pulse time (in seconds) provided by the server. This minimizes unnecessary network load.
