telnet is not present here on the system (for safety I presume)

rsync uses port 873

This often gets blocked at many sites.

an easy and "naiive" test can be trying to connect to that port via rsync:


telnet 193.2.4.200 rsync
or
telnet 193.2.4.200 873


the output should look similar to this if that outgoing port is open (not blocked):

Trying 193.2.4.200...
Connected to 193.2.4.200.
Escape character is '^]'.
@RSYNCD: 31.0
