For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Answer

The Central Administrator Console (CAC) software client connects to the CAC server using TCP ports 63333 and 44144. Users need to open the Windows firewall port when Windows Defender is used as the default firewall software. If different firewall software is used, then users must follow instructions specific to that software to open these ports.
