Network Requirements & Firewall
All devices must be on the same local network for Breeze Hub to communicate with Apple devices running Breeze Booth.
Ports
Breeze Hub uses three ports for communication:
| Port | Protocol | Direction | Purpose |
| 5500 (default) | UDP | Outbound | Broadcast — Breeze Hub announces itself on the network |
| 5501 (default) | UDP | Inbound | Status updates from connected devices |
| 5502 (default) | TCP | Inbound | File transfers |
Windows Firewall
When running Breeze Hub for the first time, Windows may display a security alert. Select Private networks, such as my home or work network and click Allow access. This is sufficient for most setups.
Manual Firewall Configuration
If the automatic prompt does not resolve connectivity, rules may need to be added manually via Windows Defender Firewall Advanced Settings.
To find the correct local address range for your network, open a Windows PowerShell window and run: ipconfig
Use the first three octets of the IPv4 Address when defining local address ranges in your firewall rules.
Troubleshooting
| _.Symptom | _.Resolution |

| iPad/iPhone not listed in Connected Devices | Enable incoming UDP on port 5501 |
| Files are not transferred to Breeze Hub | Enable incoming TCP on port 5502 |
