Remote Access
TeamViewer is an application that lets Pitney Bowes Service access your device remotely, when you authorise it. (A TeamViewer session can only be initiated by someone on your end, therefore the system cannot be accessed without your knowledge.) There are two ways to unblock TeamViewer:
- General unblocking of Port 5938 TCP for outgoing connections (recommended). Port 5938 is only used by a few applications and therefore there is no security risk. This traffic should be filtered or cached.
- Unblocking URLs of the following formats (to any server) GET:
- /din.aspx?s=…&client=DynGate…GET
- /dout.aspx?s=…&client=DynGate…POST
- /dout.aspx?s=…&client=DynGate…
Regardless of which method you choose to unblock TeamViewer, verify there are no content filters or anything similar blocking one of these URLs:
- *.TeamViewer.com
- *.dyngate.com
Communications
All communication is initiated from the system via ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (TLS).
All communications from the system to the back end system are in the form of XML messages.
Ports
Port 80 (HTTP)
- Web Services
- TeamViewer (remote access software)
Port 443 (TLS)
- SendPro C Lite, SendPro C sends requests to refill or audit its PSD (Postal Security Device) when the user requests it or an inspection is required. Audits occur if the PSD inspection date has expired.
- Transaction records from the SendPro C Lite, SendPro C are automatically uploaded when a user message appears (within three days of the mail being generated).
- O/S updates and PB Application Software and Rates Data updates.
Port 53
- DNS lookup
Important: If your IT department uses a rules-based method for allowing specific ports to pass traffic on their network for port 53, you must allow both UDP and TCP traffic to this port.
Advanced Network Requirements
SendPro C Lite, SendPro C initiates all communication (via HTTP or TLS), so it can safely sit behind most corporate firewalls.
- High-speed network connection
- SendPro C Lite, SendPro C supports 802.11n WiFi WPA, WPA-2 PSK, WPA-802.1x (LEAP) protocols.
- Due to security issues, WEP Wireless Security Protocol is not supported.
- Both 2.4 and 5 GHz frequency band wireless is supported.
- SendPro C Lite, SendPro C communicates to external web services via HTTP over Port 80
- SendPro C Lite, SendPro C communicates to PB secure server(s) via TLS 1.2 over port 443
- SendPro C Lite, SendPro C uses Port 53 for DNS lookup
- Pitney Bowes requires a minimum network bandwidth of 384 kbps (upstream and downstream) to operate, but we recommend 1 Mbit/sec for best performance
- Pitney Bowes recommends that DSL or cellular devices are not shared across multiple SendPro C Lite, SendPro C systems
- Customer owned web filtering devices or software, as well as SSL packet inspection should be disabled for these ports as they can affect performance or could prevent functionality.
- SendPro C Lite, SendPro C internal base and tablet communication uses a subnet that consists of IPs from the 192.168.10.240 to 192.168.10.255 and 192.168.10.96 to 192.168.10.111 ranges. When the SendPro C Lite, SendPro C is connected to a network that has a default gateway which uses any address in these ranges, the SendPro C Lite, SendPro C will not be able to communicate on the network because messages can not be routed properly.
- Wired Ethernet supports 10/100 Mbit speeds.
If you are unable to connect to the internet, ask your IT department or internet provider to check the internet settings before you contact Pitney Bowes.
