Please read through the Web Server section to learn more about SpecView's Web Server features.

Follow the steps below to allow incoming connections on the PC's Port 80 for SpecView's Web Server.

 

1.Verify with the IT department that Port 80 is open and available to be utilized.

 Port 80 is the standard port for web pages (http) and it may conflict with another web server running on the same computer – or may make it difficult to access this Web Server from outside via the Internet.

2.Open Windows Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
3.Click on Windows Defender Firewall.
