There are different ways of adjusting the firewall rules in Windows 7. The method
described below has been tested successfully.
Make the following settings for the Windows 7 firewall:
You have administrator rights on your PC
1. Open the Windows start menu.
2. Select 'Control Panel' > 'All Control Panel Items' > 'Administrative Tools' >
'Local Security Policy' > 'Windows Firewall with Advanced Security'.
3. Select 'Advanced settings' > 'Inbound Rules' > 'New Rule...'.
This opens the 'New Inbound Rule Wizard'.
4. Select 'Rule Type' and activate 'Program'.
5. Click 'Next >' to confirm and enter the program path to 'F-FXS2002.exe'.
- Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Siemens\F-FX2030\XL_en_1-V4.0
6. Click 'Next >' to confirm and then confirm the default setting 'Allow the
connection' in the next step ('Action').
7. In the next step ('Profile'), remove the check mark from the 'Domain' box.
The 'Private' and 'Public' boxes are checked.
8. Click 'Next >' to confirm and enter an appropriate name in the next step
('Name'), such as 'FS20 application'.
9. Click 'Finish' to complete the process.
A 'New Rule' has now been set and appears in the 'Inbound Rules' list.
It is necessary to make additional settings for the new rule:
1. Right-click the new rule and select 'Properties'.
2. In the '<rule name> Properties' window, select the 'Protocol and Ports' tab.
3. Set the following values:
- 'Protocol type': 'UDP'
- 'Local port': 'Specific Ports', and enter the value range '50067-50070' in the
box.
- 'Remote port': 'All Ports'
4. Confirm with 'OK'.
The new firewall rule is now configured.
