Settings required on a corporate network for push notifications:

Android devices

If your organization has a firewall that restricts internet traffic then you'll need to configure it to allow connectivity with Google Cloud Messaging (GCM).

The ports to open are:

• 5228
• 5229
• 5230

GCM typically only uses 5228, but sometimes uses 5229 and 5230. GCM doesn't provide specific IPs; it frequently changes IPs. We recommend against using ACLs.

Meanwhile, the answer for that is 'all IP blocks listed in Google's ASN of 15169'. You can use an online tool to get the ASN info.

Apple devices

Field

Description

Device is connected to Wi-Fi and does not have a cellular data account or a cellular data signal, push notifications are not received.

Devices using Access Point Names need a direct connection to Apple's server. If a device is unable to connect using cellular data, it will attempt to use Wi-Fi if available. If there is a proxy server on the Wi-Fi network, the device will be unable to use APNs, because they require a direct and persistent connection from device to server. When connecting to APNs, iOS devices use the cellular data connection, if available. Only if the cellular connection is not available or viable will the device switch to Wi-Fi for APNs connections. For APNs traffic to get past your firewall, you'll need to open these ports: TCP port 5223 (used by devices to communicate to the APNs servers) TCP port 2195 (used to send notifications to the APNs) TCP port 2196 (used by the APNs feedback service) TCP Port 443 (used as a fallback on Wi-fi only, when devices are unable to communicate to APNs on port 5223) The APNs servers use load balancing. Your devices will not always connect to the same public IP address for notifications. The entire 17.0.0.0/8 address block is assigned to Apple, so it's best to allow this range in your firewall settings.

1. Load the Setup Options program from within SYSPRO.

2. From the Connectivity System Setup form of the System Setup category (SYSPRO Ribbon bar > Setup > Setup Options > System Setup) specify the address of the Espresso Server at the Notification address field.

   This is used to send push notifications to a user's devices (e.g. http://localhost/SYSPROEspresso) as well as the Espresso Application Builder.
