To configure firewall settings for EMIS Web communication, you must ensure that your network settings align with the required parameters for secure and effective operation of the EMIS services. Here's a straightforward guide to help you through the process:
Essential IP Allocations
Your firewall must allow communication through the necessary IP ranges dedicated for EMIS hosted services. These include:
- EMIS Backup Datacentre: 10.207.112.0/22
- EMIS Primary Datacentre: 10.207.116.0/22
- RIPE Local Internet Registry Allocation: 185.13.72.0/22
- Internet Hosting of EMIS Patching Services: 149.11.42.48/29
Port Configurations
It's key to configure your firewall to allow inbound and outbound traffic through specific ports. Below are some critical configurations:
- For EMIS Web Client: Use TCP port 443 to ensure secure Spine Messaging, while ports 80 and 8080 should be open for other core services.
- AWS S3 Document Services: Open TCP port 443 for document upload and retrieval services at
ewcd01.emishealth.com. - Appointment Refresh: Outbound traffic via TCP port 443 to
*.iot.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com.
"Effectively configuring your firewall not only boosts security but streamlines system updates and ensures reliable connectivity across EMIS services."
Network Proxies and Caches
Ensure your proxy settings do not impede EMIS Web's network traffic. Exclude IP ranges from proxy services to prevent disruptions in software functionalities and service access.
