SIRIOS - IT's Pre-requisites _ minimum IT configuration NEEDED



Should you be asked by the client's IT about the Windows software settings and IT settings for your SIRIOS,please find all the necessary information below.




  • No other firewall / antivirus than the one provided with Windows is supported
  • Internet speed Best usage to use AXS: At least 25 Mbps Download x 5Mbps Upload
  • Those two ports need to stay opened:

Omaha (SIRIOS update): Port 80

Secured HTTPS communication (AXS. licenses.dwos.com, etc.): Port 443

  • Location of Windows always needs to be enabled to run the SIRIOS scanner

  • IPv6 must be enabled in network setting and in the registry

A) IPv6 Network setting from control panel

B) IPv6 from the registry:

Open regedit and navegate until \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\DisabledComponents

The registry key can have 4 values.

* 0xFF (IPV6 disabled completely)

*0x20 (prefer IPV4 over IPV6]

*0x10 (disable IPV6 on non tunnel interfaces]

*0x01 (disable IPV6 on tunnel interfaces)

*0x00 (Enable all IPV6 components)

If value is 0xFF or 0x10 - impossible to connect to scanner whatever the status of the iPv6 checkbox on the network adapter (and scankit logs will say Connect IP: fe80::ff:fe00:0)

If value is 0x00 or 0x01 or 0x20-> possible to connect to scanner only if the IPV6 checkbox on the network adapter is checked (and scankit logs will say Connect IP: fe80::ff:fe00:0%X - where the X after the %s at the end can be any number depending on the computer and number of available network adapter)


  • If the DSO's IT department is setting up "Group Policies" they must not enable the one named: "Prohibit connection to non-domain networks when connected to domain authenticated network"
