Recommended URL Information
We recommend these URLs are left open, but if this presents a security issue, they can remain blocked.
They are enabled by default.
Remote Access - TeamViewer
The TeamVewer tool enables Pitney Bowes Service to access your machine. When you start the
application, you have to click a button to authorize temporary connection.
There are two methods to unblock TeamViewer:
l(recommended option) - General unblocking of Port 5938 TCP for outgoing connections. Port
5938 is only used by a few applications and therefore there is no security risk. This traffic should
not be filtered nor cached.
lUnblock URLs with these formats (to any server):
oGET/din.aspx?s=…&client=DynGate
oGET/dout.aspx?s=…&client=DynGate
oPOST/dout.aspx?s=…&client=DynGate
Note:
Once you unblock TeamViewer, verify there are no content filters blocking one of these URLs:
l*.teamviewer.com
l*.dyngate.com
Your Account (pitneybowes.com)
The meter uses this website to access your account information on pitneybowes.com.
l(https://www.pb.com/cgi-bin/pb.dll/jsp/Login.do?lang=en&country=US&ga1=MS1)
oDomain www.pb.com; IP=199.231.44.12
oDomain http://www.google.com/analytics; IP=209.85.128.000, 209.85.227.101,
