1 +== **Firewall Information** ==
1 1  
3 +Many programs can be mistakenly identified as an intrusion threat by many firewall and anti-virus programs. If not addressed properly, this may cause the installation to fail or the program to not run properly.
2 2  
5 +Firewalls often need to have access allowed through specific ports. The Updater (Updater.exe) uses standard HTTP port 80 to access the site [[http:~~/~~/updates.aatrix.com>>url:http://updates.aatrix.com/]]. **The Firewall must also allow password-protected encrypted zip files.**
6 +
7 +The eFiling & Web service components use HTTPS on port 443 to access the following sites:
8 +
9 +*
10 +** [[https:~~/~~/efile.aatrix.com>>url:https://efile.aatrix.com/]]
11 +
12 +*
13 +** [[https:~~/~~/efileserver.aatrix.com>>url:https://efileserver.aatrix.com/]]
14 +
15 +*
16 +** [[https:~~/~~/efilereceiver.aatrix.com>>url:https://efilereceiver.aatrix.com/]]
17 +
18 +*
19 +** [[https:~~/~~/w2status.aatrix.com>>url:https://w2status.aatrix.com/]]
20 +
21 +
22 +Sometimes firewalls have a tighter restriction and only allow access to these ports to specific domains. By allowing access to aatrix.com you will allow updates, eFiling, and the web service to connect. Occasionally the restrictions are even tighter and only allow access to these ports by specific programs. 
23 +\\
24 +
25 +== **Before Installing your Program** ==
26 +
27 +It is critical that you do the following before installing your program:
28 +
29 +1.
30 +11. Turn** ON** your firewall software.
31 +11. Turn **ON** firewall alerts.
32 +11. If prompted by your firewall, read the dialog carefully and** “Allow”** or **“Unblock”** safe files.
33 +
34 +Some firewalls may prompt you to allow additional files. You must allow these additional files as well.
35 +
36 +
37 +== **Already Installed Programs** ==
38 +
39 +If you have already installed the particular program and are unable to run it, you need to set your firewall to allow the following files to run using HTTP on port 80 to [[http:~~/~~/updates.aatrix.com>>url:http://updates.aatrix.com/]] and to allow encrypted zip files.
40 +
41 +*
42 +** AATRIXFORMS.EXE
43 +
44 +*
45 +** UPDATER.EXE
46 +
47 +*
48 +** UPDATER2.EXE
49 +
50 +
51 +For **eFiling & web service connections**, allow the following files to run using HTTPS on port 443 to [[https:~~/~~/efile.aatrix.com>>url:https://efile.aatrix.com/]], 
52 +[[https:~~/~~/efileserver.aatrix.com>>url:https://efileserver.aatrix.com/]], [[https:~~/~~/efilereceiver.aatrix.com>>url:https://efilereceiver.aatrix.com/]], and [[https:~~/~~/w2status.aatrix.com>>url:https://w2status.aatrix.com/]].

55 +TLS 1.2 in Advanced settings of Internet Explorer must be enabled to eFile.
56 +
57 +**Note:** Internet Explorer may need to be updated to enable TLS 1.2.

60 +** BUILDER.EXE

72 +== **Proxy Server Information** ==
73 +
74 +If you have a proxy server you will be required to configure applications to allow access to the internet. During the update process, when an internet connection problem occurs, a Settings button is available on the error dialog that allows the user to configure the proxy server settings. These settings are saved and will be used during subsequent internet connections.
75 +
76 +**//Note//:** //Your payroll or accounting application may have also required proxy server settings to allow internet connections. If the proxy settings are not passed when starting the Aatrix process you will also need to configure the proxy server settings in Aatrix.//
77 +
78 +When you click Settings in the Internet Problem dialog you will have an opportunity to enter your proxy server settings.
79 +
80 +You can select the checkbox for either proxy server or firewall and then enter all criteria below each check box. Each item is described below.

98 +== **Permission Information** ==
99 +
100 +If you do not have adequate permission to certain file directories you may encounter issues updating and saving files such as drafts, histories, and other important files. Below is a list of directories, for each operating system, that need adequate read/write/modify permissions to properly run Aatrix. It is recommended that the person using Aatrix be listed as an administrator on the local operating system. All of the following directories must not be set as hidden.
101 +
102 +
103 +== **Company Folder** ==
104 +
105 +This location varies depending on the payroll or accounting application and may be unique to the user’s computer or network configuration.
