Ports tab

The System Management Server uses HTTP and HTTPS for communications with AVEVA software. Remote nodes must be configured with the same port numbers as configured here. By default, the System Management Server uses HTTP port 80 and HTTPS port 443. Generally, you can use the default settings. Select the Advanced button, then select the Ports tab and edit the port numbers as needed.

To configure the HTTP and HTTPS communication ports

This is the port number on which the System Management Server is configured and is automatically populated. It is recommended that you also check the port number manually.

1. Select the HTTP Port and HTTPS Port. The defaults are 80 and 443, respectively.

   

   These ports are local ports on the current machine, which are used by web services and clients connecting to this machine.

   Note: If you change the default ports you need to
   (i) restart the machine for the change to take effect, and
   (ii) update the port number(s) on all client products that point to servers running on this machine.
   This excludes the System Management Server because it discovers port numbers automatically.

   HTTP and HTTPS ports range from 0 to 65535. Within this range, you may choose any port that has not been blocked or is currently in use. Otherwise, you will receive "Port number conflict" error.

2. Select OK to save your settings. The Configurator’s main screen is displayed.

3. Select Configure.

   The Configuration Messages area displays the steps in the configuration process and the progress. Upon successful configuration, the crtificate is generated on the local machine and signed by the selected System Management Server. The server name is displayed in the Certificate field of the Advanced Configuration dialog. If the configuration is unsuccessful, view details of the errors in the Operations Control Management Console.
