Communication ports
1E NightWatchman Agent and 1E WakeUp client
Note
For NightWatchman Enterprise 7.2.500 and later, the legacy 1E Agent has been split into 1E NightWatchman Agent and 1E WakeUp client module of the 1E Client.
Port | Traffic | Notes | Configurable |
|---|---|---|---|
UDP 1776 | Inbound and Outbound | Communication with 1E WakeUp client and magic packets. | |
TCP 80 (HTTP) | Outbound | Communication with the NightWatchman Web service. | |
TCP 80 (HTTP) | Outbound | Communication with the NightWatchman Management Center. |
RPC/WMI with admin rights is required between 1E NightWatchman Agent (NWM) when using a remote NightWatchman.exe command-line
Incoming Internet Control Message protocol (ICMP) must be whitelisted on routers. It is used by the 1E WakeUp Server to discover 1E WakeUp clients.
The 1E WakeUp client and 1E NightWatchman Agent can each use both HTTP and HTTPS protocols, configurable during installation using command-line installer properties, and after installation by changing registry values. YOu can set values so tha tthe client agents communicate with the NightWatchman Management Center Web Service using the following protocols and security levels in the following order:
HTTP.
HTTPS without certificate.
HTTPS using certificate subject match.
HTTPS using certificate issuer match.
ActiveEfficiency
ActiveEfficiency is required only for the NightWatchman catalog update service, which is not used by NightWatchman 7.2.500 and later.
Port | Traffic | Notes | Configurable |
|---|---|---|---|
TCP 135 (RPC) | Between NightWatchman and ActiveEfficiency servers | Communication with the queue managers. A dynamic port typically assigned by remote procedure calls (RPC) for handshaking with an independent client or with an RPC server for the message queuing server to determine the fixed ports. | |
TCP 1801 (MSMQ) | Between NightWatchman and ActiveEfficiency servers | Communication with the queue managers. |

IPv4 network is necessary
RPC/WMI incoming from the NightWatchman Management Center Console service, any remote WakeUp Server consoles, any SCCM Console WakeUp extensions. Potentially used by custom WakeUp applications, however Web WakeUp is recommended instead for custom wakeup applications)
Internet Control Message protocol (ICMP) must be whitelisted on routers. It is used by the WakeUp server to discover 1E WakeUp clients (WakeUp).
