Article Summary

Accedian devices, including the FSX Performance Element Skylight element: GX, use various Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports for different services and applications.

The following table lists the TCP and UDP ports used by Accedian devices. This information is useful for configuring firewalls on a network.
