What ports (and IP addresses if available) do I need to allow outbound connections through my firewall from the eisy to the Internet on/to?

Usually, Port 587 with TLS checked. It may vary depending on your email provider.

If you reserve an IP address on your router for your controller then you would enter that IP address in the controller,

I don't have an eisy, but for Polisy the ports are 8080 for http connections and 8443 for https connections (look on your Configuration | System tab in the AC).  Lots of people here use the UDI Portal for that purpose so they don't have to open their firewall.

Yea definitely 587 for secure SMTP if your e-mail provider requires secure e-mail (which mine does).  Thanks

8080 &8443 for inbound, I'd expect 123 for outbound NTP, 587 as @Techmanmentions, but I believe there's also outbound connection to the Portal.  I believe Michael told me that the Portal is not inbound to the eisy but the eisy maintains (opens) the connection to the portal.  I got any outbound connections blocked, I'll see what shows up in the firewall logs...  Thanks. 

I just saw UDP 53, DNS; UDP 123, NTP, and TCP 587 Secure E-Mail in the firewall log, opened those and haven't gotten any more drops.  I'll keep an eye on it and post here if more show up...

Looks like it talks to an AWS EC2 instance on TCP 443 for the Portal.  I'm having trouble determining a CIDR block and although there's a FQDN option in my firewall I don't know how that'll work.  Plus I guess I'd have to get the FQDN out of the DNS packet.  Never tried that before...

Looks like it needs Cloudfront for updating.  Another CIDR block...  18.155.200.0/21
