Need to open Support Ticket to setup Port Forwarding

We have a sign outside that we are unable to control from the inside the bank as we normally do - Our outside IT folks relayed the message below and I dont know where to start:

Watchfire believes your Comcast / Xfinity is blocking the connection to the sign. Please open a support ticket with Comcast. Ask them to help configure port triggering on the modem. Support contact should be found on last statement.

 

The instructions below will cover the settings for setting up Port Triggering to resolve an issue in communications with Watchfire Signs using Broadband Communication using Xfinity services. Comcast Business users will want to apply the same Port Triggering Settings. The Port Triggering rule will only impact services using ports 9400-9443.

 

Comcast needs to configure the following port trigger settings.

 

• Service Name: Ignite

• Service Type: TCP

• Trigger From Starting Port: 9400

• Trigger From Ending Port: 9443

• Target to Starting Port: 49152

• Target to Ending Port: 65535

 

That should enable changing the sign from the bank.

When i try to send the direct message i do not get an "Xfinity Support" option in the "To" list - Do I need to select Comcast Business instead, that's what we have selected in the past.

@Cb1865 You are absolutely correct you can choose Comcast Business since you done that in that past.-Richard
