## Network Connectivity

The **Activate Anywhere** server must be able to communicate with the internal **Activate Portal** over **HTTPS (443)**.

- Confirm firewall rules allow outbound 443 traffic from Anywhere to Activate. 
- To test connectivity, browse to an anonymous endpoint on the Activate server (for example: https\://\<ActivateServer>/api/health).&#x20;
