This document is written assuming you have the TCAdmin Server setup already. If you need assistance with this, please contact TCAdmin Support (Click on the "Get Support" link once you are logged into submit tickets.)

More information about TCAdmin can be found in the TCAdmin Knowledgebase, and the TCAdmin Forums 

The TCAdmin module requires OUTGOING port 8082 OPEN on the firewall of your AWBS Server. 
Note: If you have changed the TCAdmin Control port in your TCAdmin Server, then that port needs
to be open instead.
