Ports¶

The following table lists the network ports used by Confire Cloud. To avoid connectivity issues, please ensure that all required ports are allowed in your network infrastructure.

Required Ports¶

Device Internet Access¶

EZCast Pro and QuattroPod devices do not require a direct Internet connection to be managed through Confire Cloud.

Communication takes place through a locally installed Confire Cloud Agent, which must be located on the same local network as the devices being managed. The Agent handles communication between the devices and Confire Cloud.

The following requirements apply:

• Confire Cloud Agent: Requires an outgoing Internet connection to Confire Cloud over TCP ports 32671 and 32672.
• EZCast Pro and QuattroPod devices: Do not require a direct Internet connection to report their status to Confire Cloud or receive configuration changes.
• Local communication: The internal connections listed under Required Ports must be available between the Agent and the devices.

This allows EZCast Pro and QuattroPod devices to be managed centrally through Confire Cloud, even in networks without direct Internet access.

Firmware Updates over the Internet (OTA)¶

To download firmware updates over the Internet (OTA), EZCast Pro and QuattroPod devices currently require an outgoing Internet connection to the manufacturer's update server.

When a firmware update is initiated through Confire Cloud, the platform sends the update command to the device via the Confire Cloud Agent. The device then downloads the firmware directly from the manufacturer's update server.

This firewall rule applies only to OTA firmware downloads. The devices also require access to the DNS and NTP services provided by your network for name resolution and time synchronisation.

Firmware Updates without Direct Internet Access¶

Planned feature: A forthcoming version of Confire Cloud will allow firmware updates for EZCast Pro and QuattroPod devices to be delivered through the Confire Cloud Agent, without requiring the devices themselves to have a direct Internet connection.

The firmware will be transferred to the devices through the Agent over the local network.

This will allow EZCast Pro and QuattroPod devices without direct Internet access to receive firmware updates centrally through Confire Cloud.

The Confire Cloud Agent will still require an Internet connection to Confire Cloud, and the necessary local network communication between the Agent and the devices must remain available.

Note: This feature is currently under development and is not yet available. Until it is released, EZCast Pro and QuattroPod devices will continue to require the direct connection to the manufacturer's update server described above for OTA firmware updates.
