How do assets communicate with the console?

Communication between assets and the AIR console is made via the ports listed below:

• HTTPS (443) is the default port responders use for retrieving their tasks from the console,

• NATS (4222) (optional) is used for pushing tasks to assets in real time. In case this port is not allowed in your environment, AIR uses HTTP(S) polling as its default task retrieval mechanism.

Notes on Firewall Rules

The console installer automatically adds inbound allow rules for the above ports to the Windows Firewall.

On the other hand, the responder installer doesn't set any firewall exclusions and it is your responsibility to make sure enterprise firewall policies allow assets to access console over these ports.
