Ports and Protocols

The key to setting up the Deep Freeze architecture is knowing which ports to use. The important 

factor is knowing which ports are in use on the network and using ports that will not conflict with 

those. The default port, 7725 has been officially registered to Deep Freeze.

The following three components make up the Deep Freeze architecture:

•

Client (with seed installed)

•

Remote Console (local service enabled)

•

Console (connects to the Remote Console)

As long as the clients and Remote Console connection use the same port there should not be any 

port conflicts between the different components:

Ports can also be used to divide the clients. If the local service is setup to run three ports (7725, 

7724 and 7723), Enterprise Consoles can connect to the three different ports to see a different set 

of clients under each port.

In the diagram above, the client(s) use both the TCP and UDP protocols to communicate with the 

Remote Console. The Console(s) that connects to the Remote Console uses only the TCP protocol 

to communicate with the Remote Console. It is important to remember the ports and protocols 

being used in order to prevent firewalls, switches or routers from blocking them.
