More information

In addition to the firewall of your host system, your IT department might have firewalls and proxies in place that could prevent Gateway from communicating with EcoStruxure IT or your devices. 

Contact your IT department if they are running firewalls that are blocking required ports.

If your organization uses a proxy, see the instructions in these articles for configuring the Gateway:
