Configuring a firewall to allow Intel SCS and SQL server connections
You must configure a firewall on the OOB site server computer (by default, the Notification Server computer) to allow incoming traffic to Intel SCS.
On the computer with Microsoft SQL Server installed, you must configure the firewall to allow incoming traffic to the SQL server.
Configuring firewall software on the client Intel AMT computers is not necessary because Intel AMT management is performed at the hardware level.
