Integration: The Aveva Data Hub connector is now available.
Network: A new firewall management feature is now available by navigating to System > Network > Firewall. This feature allows you to manage firewall rules to open specific ports or port ranges for inbound communication. The Firewall pane allows you to do the following: Review what ports are being used by Belden Horizon Data Operations system components, applications, and containers. Ensure that any DeviceHub drivers and Docker container applications are not running on conflicting ports. Open ports and port ranges with appropriate protocol (TCP/UDP) for Docker applications, containers, and DeviceHub drivers. Manage and close ports as needed. These firewall rules apply only to IPv4 traffic.
