3.4.6 SERVER-PORT

SERVER-PORT specifies a particular port number to be used for accessing acuconnect on the server host machine. This is especially helpful when the server host machine has a security firewall, because firewalls generally allow access only to specific ports. With this variable, the site can ensure that firewall restrictions are satisfied.

The acuconnect daemon can work with privileged port numbers (from 0 to 1023), and with non-privileged port numbers (1024 and higher, up to 32767). The default is 6996. To use the default, enter a value of "-1".

If the variable is set to any other number, AcuConnect will attempt to use that port number. If the port cannot be used for some reason, then AcuConnect will use an arbitrary port.

The value of this variable is overridden by any port number assigned on the command line (via the "-p" option) when the daemon is started.


Note: If you set SERVER-PORT to any value other than the default, you must also include the SERVER-PORT variable in the client configuration file; otherwise, you will receive a "file not found" error.
