Changing the Agent's UDP Port on Windows NT 4.0

This topic describes how to change the UDP port used by the managed adapter's communication agent to communicate with PortAssist Manager. The default UDP is 2362, which was assigned to Digi by the Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA). Although you can change this port number, you should never have to. If another application uses it, the best way to deal with the conflict is to reconfigure the application to use another UDP port, one that has not been assigned by the IANA.

Note: When you change the UDP port that the agent uses, you must also change the port that PortAssist Manager uses to communicate with the agent. Use the PortAssist Manager System Setup screen for this purpose.

Procedure

From the Windows NT 4.0 Start menu, choose Control Panel > Network > Services.

Select Digi PortAssist Manager Communication Agent and then press Properties.

Change the UDP port number as required and then press OK.
