Network Ports used by Hexnode UEM

This article explains the network ports used for connections with Hexnode or for integrating third-party services.

A port is a specific location through which information flows between various computers or networks. Hexnode uses several ports for enrolling and managing Android, Apple, and Windows devices. Make sure to keep these ports open for a full MDM feature implementation.

Following is the list of several ports needed for establishing connectivity between the various servers and components in Hexnode UEM.

Ports for Android devices

Communications for enrolling and managing Android devices use HTTPS on TCP 443. Hexnode uses standard FCM ports and services (Ports 5228, 5229, and 5230). The port 1883 (outbound) can be used for devices without FCM.

Ports for Apple devices

Communications for enrolling and managing devices use HTTPS on TCP 443. Hexnode uses standard ports (TCP 2195 – outbound) to communicate with APNs (host address is gateway.push.apple.com). If the Apple devices are connected to the internet through Wi-Fi and fail to receive APNs notifications, there are chances that the firewall in your network blocks the outbound port 5223. Make sure that this port remains open to TCP traffic for notifications to work.

Ports for Windows devices

TCP port 443 is used in the case of the Windows Notification Service.
