Appendix: Synappx Go MFP Agent – Post Installation Configuration (Optional)

Background Depending on your environment, it may be necessary to open either or both inbound TCP port(s) 9100 and 515 on the MFP Agent server. This is accomplished by creating rules on that machine’s Windows firewall. What follows is a short procedure which uses Windows 10 as an example. Enabling this rule would be necessary if print jobs are not getting to the MFP Agent PC. Procedure 1. Launch the Windows Defender Control Panel and launch the Windows Firewall applet.

2. The main Windows Defender Firewall interface is shown below. Click the Advanced Settings option.

3. On the window below, click the Inbound Rules option. The goal is to allow inbound TCP traffic to the MFP agent on either or both ports 9100 and 515. Doing so allows print jobs to be securely sent and held at the MFP agent until they are released for printing by the Synappx Go mobile app.

4. On the window below, click the New Rule option on the Actions pane at the far right.

5. On the Inbound Rule Type window, select the Port rule type, then click Next.

6. On the window below, select the TCP option and then select the Specific local ports option. In the adjacent field, enter the port (or ports) you wish to open for traffic. You can select 9100 (RAW), 515 (LPR) or both. The example below uses both ports. Click Next when you have finished.

7. Next, click Allow the connection and then click Next.

8. With respect to which Profile to select, in the window below, select one or more of the available options. In most cases, selecting Domain should suffice. Make your selections and then click Next.

9. Lastly, give the rule a convenient Name and Description and then click Finish.

10. The rule is enabled by default, as shown below. You can now close the Windows Defender Firewall applet.
