That's not quite right.  The port you want to telnet to is specified as the 
first port on the webports option.  If there is no webport option, the 
tsmclient picks one "randomly".  The tsm server will try to connect to the port 
that cad connected on when it started up.  If it is "random", not specified on 
a webports option, it is kind of hard to write the firewall rule.

 From the TSM server:
    telnet hla lla
Example:
    telnet servera 1501
If it hangs and eventually times out, you have a firewall problem, as
David mentions.  If it says "Connection Refused" or similar, the CAD is
not listening on that port.  If it connects, your plumbing is fine.

Some other things to check:
      Have you set tcpclientport?
      Does netstat show your port in LISTENING state?  netstat -an |
find /I "listen"
