Question

What are the primary network ports used by BarTender?

Applicable to

BarTender 2019 and later.

Answer

The main network ports used for BarTender companion applications are:

Application Listening on Will accept a remote client? Connecting to a server listening on A remote server?
BarTender Designer N/A N/A TCP 25 (SMTP) Yes
Integration Builder/ Process Builder* TCP 5120 / 5121 No  TCP 5150  No
Administration Console TCP 5159 No  TCP 5150  No
History Explorer UDP 7372 & TCP 49152-65535 No N/A N/A
Librarian (see BarTender System service) - - -
Print Portal HTTP 80 and HTTPS 443 (See Client Printing in Print Portal) N/A  
Print Station (None) No N/A No
Printer Maestro (see Printer Maestro service) - - -
Reprint Console UDP 7372 & TCP 49152-65535 No N/A N/A

The main network ports used for BarTender services are:

Service Listening on Will accept a remote client? Connecting to a server listening on A remote server?
Integration Service* TCP 5150 (w/ port sharing service) Yes TCP 5150 Yes 
Print Scheduler Service* TCP 5150 (w/ port sharing service) No N/A N/A
BarTender Licensing Service (2019) TCP 5160 (default) & UDP 3702 Yes TCP 5160 & UDP 3702 Yes
BarTender System service UDP 7371 & TCP 7375      
BarTender Web Print service
 		 HTTP 8632 & 8633      
Printer Maestro service
 		 TCP/UDP 7170      
Print Gateway/Client Print Service*

HTTP 5952 & 
5950

If an application doesn't accept a remote client, there's no need to worry about the inbound rules in Windows Firewall. Similarly, if an application doesn't connect to a remote server, there is no need to worry about the outbound rule.

Seagull License Activation

Below are Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) for the BarTender License Activation/Authentication service: 

IT or Security personnel may be needed to open HTTPS port 443 in their external firewall.

Seagull Printer Drivers

• version 2017.1 or later – TCP 9100, and TCP 5130
• version 7.4.3 or earlier – TCP 9100, and TCP 6160

TCP port 6160 is used for print monitoring. The print server listens on this port for any incoming requests and sends back information on the availability of a printer. This feature can be disabled by unchecking Bidirectional Communication in File > Print > Printer Properties > Tools > Driver Options > Network Settings.

SQL Server

TCP port 1433 is the default port for SQL Server. This port is also the official Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) socket number for SQL Server. Client systems use TCP 1433 to connect to the database engine; SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) uses the port to manage SQL Server instances across the network.

This port number can be changed in the Service settings.

LDAP Queries

In versions 2019 and later, BarTender uses LDAP for permissions checking. This includes printer permissions and usage, software usage, and license management. For the most part, LDAP queries are invisible and are allowed by the firewall. 

All LDAP queries use TCP port 389.

More Information

Port 5150

Currently, 3 services use TCP 5150:

  1. Integration Service
  2. Print Scheduler
  3. BarTender System Service

Port Sharing

  • Generally, Windows doesn't allow different processes to listen on the same port at the same time. However, those services are able to use the same port via the Windows Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service.
  • Specifically, the Windows service SMSvcHost.exe is listening on TCP 5150 when any of the above services run. SMSvcHost.exe listens and dispatches requests to those services. 
  • As the Port Sharing Service is internal, these ports do not need to be open within the firewall. However, if you are deploying or managing Integrations remotely, the port must be open.

Ports 5120 and 5121

The following companion apps use TCP Ports 5120 and 5121:

  1. Integration Builder
  2. Process Builder

Whichever application is started/deployed first takes port 5120. For example:

  • If Integration Builder is invoked first and Process Builder is invoked later, Integration Builder listens on 5120 and Process Builder listens on 5121.
  • If Process Builder is invoked first and Integration Builder is invoked later, Process Builder listens on 5120 and Integration Builder listens on 5121.

Ports 5950 and 5952

  • Port 5950 is used for the print router.
  • Port 5952 is used for Print Gateway's web interface.
