Preparing Your Network for the Excel Add-In
As the administrator of Business Central online or on-premises, you can deploy an add-in so that users can work with their Business Central data in the Excel desktop app. This article includes information that helps administrators configure advanced device and network settings for the Excel add-in for Business Central when your network requirements block the add-in.
Network endpoints required by the Excel add-in
The Excel add-in must have access to Business Central for it to function and synchronize business data. Network services, such as proxies or firewalls, must allow routing between each client device on which the add-in is installed and the following services that are published by Microsoft:
https://az689774.vo.msecnd.nethttps://dc.services.visualstudio.comhttps://exceladdinprovider.smb.dynamics.comhttps://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com
Note
Your API endpoint URL can be different from these default values. For example, if your environment is based on a vertical solution by Fabrikam, your API endpoint is https://fabrikam.api.bc.dynamics.com. These vertical solutions have API endpoints that are based on the format of ApplicationName.api.bc.dynamics.com. You can check if an environment uses such a URL in the Business Central Administration Center.
