  • Test SharePoint Workspace client to Groove Server Relay communications from public Internet and private intranet zones on all ports: 80/TCP, 443/TCP, and 2492/TCP.

  • Test Relay-to-Relay communications on port 2492/TCP between each onsite relay and from each onsite relay to any relay on the public Internet.
