In this context, it refers to which side makes the initial connexion. A
full description of you TCP/IP works would take a long time to explain
in an email. The network people should understand inbound and outbound
port restrictions very well.
Very basically, you need an outbound port because you are reaching out
to some other location. That act of 'reaching out' is almost always a
question/answer sort of activity. It certainly is with SOAP and web
services. Once you send your request to the far side, you establish a
connexion that lasts only until they answer, then it's gone.
Depending on your network, you might need to change some IBM i
configuration, but that is beyond me. The network people probably
understand all this stuff, but that doesn't mean that management will be
reasonable and allow then to open the outbound port.
