The Velocity Web Services Client works like a typical Web page and connects to Microsoft’s IIS using the HTTP protocol. The default network port is 80, which some other programs might already be used by some other programusing.

If you want to use a network port other than the default of 80, you can perform the following steps to configure the network port used by the default IIS Web site to communicate with the Velocity Web Services Client.

  1. From your Windows Server Start menu (on the computer where IIS and the Velocity Server are installed), select Administrative Tools ▶Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

  2. In the Connections pane of the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager window, expand the computer name, expand Sites, and then click on Default Web Site.

  3. In the Actions pane (under Edit Site), click on Bindings.

  4. In the resulting Site Bindings dialog, click the HTTP entry, and then click on Edit.

  5. In the resulting Edit Site Bindings dialog, enter the desired value (such as 8080) for the Port, and click OK.

  6. Close the Site Bindings dialog.

  7. In the Actions pane of the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager window (under Manage Web Site), click Stop, and then click Start.

Ensuring that the Network Port used by the Default IIS Web Site is Allowed Through Your Firewalls

Because the Velocity Web Services Client communicates across a shared network (instead of a dedicated physical security network), you will have to work with your network administrator to ensure that the network port used by the default IIS Web site is allowed through your firewalls. Some networks use the software firewall provided with Microsoft Windows, other networks others use a software firewall provided by a different vendor (as shown in the following image), and high-security networks include hardware firewalls.

...

  1. Open the Windows 10 Control Panel, and click on the Windows Firewall link.

  2. Click on the Advanced settings link (in the left column).

  3. In the resulting Windows Firewall with Advanced Security window, click on Inbound Rules (in the left pane), and then click on New Rule… in the Actions pane.

  4. On Select the Port option on the Rule Type page of the resulting New Inbound Rule Wizard, select the Port option, and then click Next.

  5. On the Protocol and Ports page, select the TCP option, select the Specific local ports option and enter the desired value (such as 8080), and then click Next.

  6. On the Action page, click Next to accept the defaults.

  7. On the Profile page, click Next to accept the defaults.

  8. On the Name page, enter the required Name, optionally enter a Description, and click Finish.
    This allows the Network Port used by the Default IIS Web Site through your Firewalls.
