Configuring SonicWall Firewall Devices for Use with YAPI

Avatar
Angela Ortner

If your practice has a SonicWall Firewall device installed, information from your wireless (WiFi) network to the wired network is blocked by default. This keeps your office's iPads and any laptops you use (on your WiFi) from communicating with your server (on your wired network) and can result in a “Unable to connect” or “Connection times out” error in YAPI's iPad App.  If your practice uses a SonicWall device for your firewall, follow the steps below to allow your wireless devices to communicate with YAPI on your server.

Important!  We strongly recommend enlisting the help of your IT professional to make the changes outlined below.
