NerveCenter's Client/Server Communication Port

NerveCenter is based on a client/server architecture. This means that while the NerveCenter Server does the work, you make changes to the server using a client application, such as NerveCenter Client and NerveCenter Administrator. For these applications and a NerveCenter Server to communicate, they must use the same port connection.

By default, NerveCenter Server communicate on the special port 32504. If for some reason -- such as this port is being used by another application -- it becomes necessary to change NerveCenter's communication port, an administrator may do so. However, the administrator must follow all of these procedures:

• Configuring the NerveCenter Server Connection Port
• Changing the NerveCenter Administrator's Server Port
• Changing the NerveCenter Client's Server Port

  ---

     Any application attempting to communicate with a NerveCenter Server must have a matching communication port number.

Configuring the NerveCenter Server Connection Port

The NerveCenter Server communicates with other applications, such as NerveCenter Client and NerveCenter Administrator, on a special connection port.

By default, this port number is 32504.

 
  To change the NerveCenter Server connection port:

1. Open NerveCenter Administrator and connect to the appropriate Server.

   See Connecting Administrator to a NerveCenter Server on page 38.

2. Select the Ports tab.

   The Ports tab is displayed.

   

3. In the Client Connection field, enter the port number you want the NerveCenter Server to use for client/server communication.

   ---

      Remember the port number. If you change it here, you must make corresponding changes to the NerveCenter Client and NerveCenter Administrator.

   ---

4. Select Save.
5. Stop and start the NerveCenter Server.

   Changes to the communication port will not be complete until the NerveCenter Server is restarted. See Running the NerveCenter Server on page 31.

NerveCenter uses the specified port when connecting with any NerveCenter Administrator or Client.
