Elixir Repertoire Server uses one of two ports by default. Either port 8080 is used, for regular http: connections, or port 8443 is used, for secure mode https: connections. You should ensure that your clients are allowed access by permitting TCP connections to the desired port to pass through your firewall. You can change the operating port by editing the server configuration file config/ERS2.xml. If your client program is unable to connect to the server, try using your browser to connect instead, by entering the server URL, something like http://myserver:8080/. If the browser can't establish a connection either, then probably there is a firewall preventing connections.

You can further restrict access to the server by entering the allowed client IP addresses in the Accept regular expression in config/ERS2.xml. See the section called “Administration of Core Services” for more details.
