Port Number
The setting represents the source port number in TCP connections. It is the number
that identifies the channel for remote initiating connections. The default setting for
Port 1 is 10001. The range is 1-65535, except for the following reserved port
numbers:
Table 4-6. Reserved Port Numbers
Port Numbers Reserved for
1 – 1024 Reserved (well known ports)
9999 Telnet setup
14000-14009 Reserved for Redirector
30704 Reserved (77F0h)
30718 Reserved (77FEh)
Warning: We recommend that you not use the reserved port numbers
for this setting as incorrect operation may result.
The port number functions as the TCP/UDP source port number for outgoing
packets. Packets sent to the unit with this port number are received to this channel.
The port number selected is the Incoming TCP/UDP port and Outgoing TCP/UDP
source port. Use Port 0 when you want the outgoing source port to change with each
connection.
If the port number is 0, a random value of at least 50000 is used to actively establish
a connection. Each subsequent connection increments the number by 1. When the
port number reaches 59999, it wraps around to 50000.
Only use the automatic port increment feature to initiate a connection using TCP. Set
the port to a non-zero value when the unit is in a passive mode or when you are
using UDP instead of TCP.
