3. Firewall Access Requirements
It is recommended your meter be connected through a firewall. If unrestricted
outbound access is not allowed in a particular organization, then Network
access to Pitney Bowes' servers is accomplished by allowing access to the
domains listed in the Network Firewall Access Specifications (Page 6). To avoid
potential future firewall issues, it is highly recommended domains are used
instead of IP addresses, because IP addresses have a tendency to change.
