How to configure Windows Firewall for Vault Server 2015 Basic?

[mechamania]

I have a Client (Inventor) and Server Vault (2015) installed on seperate computers.

I only can login to the Server when disabeling the FireWall on the server. I know this is not a good thing. So how can I configure the FireWall so that is is safe while I can login into the Vault from Inventor?

The Vault server is running on Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit). The Client (Inventor) is running on Windows 7 Home (64 bits).
