TCP/IP Port Numbers Used by the TimeForce System
The TimeForce system and its hardware and utilities use various ports for communication. You may need to open/forward the proper ports to ensure the system’s ability to communicate with your clocks, ClockLink, Live Lookup, etc.
The following is a list of port numbers and their uses in the TimeForce system:
Server Hardware
The following table details the recommended requirements for the machine(s) acting as the TimeForce web/database server.
| Concurrent Web Users* | Number of Servers | CPU Speed | Memory (RAM) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-50 | 1 Combined Web + Database Server | 3+ GHz | 4GB |
| 51-200 | 1 Dedicated Web Server 1 Dedicated Database Server |
3+ GHz 3+ GHz |
4GB 4GB |
| 201-500 | 1 Dedicated Web Server 1 Dedicated Database Server |
