The Agent communicates with ClinSpark web servers using HTTPS on port 8070, and other device interfaces using TCP/IP network communication protocol. Sites that enforce strict network policies may restrict these communications over this port, which could lead to issues with certain features in ClinSpark/Agent that communicate through web services.

When the Agent is installed and run for the first time, Windows may prompt users with a message asking that network connections be allowed through the Agent. This must be accepted/allowed in order for the web communications to occur successfully.

Sites should verify that network connections for the Agent are allowed through Windows Firewall, and all necessary traffic ports. These settings can be configured within the Control Panel.

...

As a an additional troubleshooting step, site administrators can confirm that the web socket connection is active while the Agent is running by visiting https://localhost:8070/ssl in a web browser. The confirmation of an ‘OK’ message in the browser window will indicate that the Agent is running properly and able to send/receive communications.

After that, further troubleshooting steps can should be taken on the local PC and sites to review network and firewall configurations, ultimately to determine if communications inbound/outbound are allowed on that port via for the Agent.
