In order to utilize your on-premise GeoCoder, you must open up a port so you may communicate with our servers (no private data is transferred through this port – this is purely for tracking purposes). Please download this file (ftp://ftp.melissadata.com/updates/GeoLogTest.zip) and follow the steps providing below to so we may assist you faster in providing a solution to your problem. This tool is to detect whether or not our servers are able to communicate with you or not.

1. Ensure you have the following files in your C:\Program Files\Melissa DATA\DQT\Data (or equivalent) folder.
