WebUI Port 52315

The instructions for WebUI implementation say that port 52315 has to opened between the root server and the WebUI server when the WebUI server is separate from the root server. My question is which server is the source server. I assume the root server since the instructions say between the root server and the WebUI server. I cannot have a port opened bi-directionally.

Root Server and if my memory serves the calls are always made from the WebUI to the Root Server and never the other way around.
