[peqi-hackathon-orga] Instructions and Files for Connection Test

Padova OK.
Test was successful.

However, due to the policy of the network in the venue of Hackathon, I need
to send a formal request, for them to grant us access to the ports. Only a
limited number of ports are open for 2-way communication here. I appreciate
it if you can inform us about the final list of ports needed (if it is
going to be different from the ones in the test script) a couple of days
before the event so we can arrange for it.

Kind regards,
Mujtaba
