TCP/IP settings

TCP/IP settings include:

  • RMI Registry Port specifies one of two TCP/IP ports that are required for the system components to communicate with one another. The other port is the RMI Object Port. The default port is 13021.

    If the default is changed, then the system clients must have their client.ini file manually modified to match this setting.

    If RMI Registry Port is cleared, then the current set value is retrieved and populated in the text box before the save.

    If the default RMI value is set, then the server.ini [firewall] rmi_registry_port parameter is removed from server.ini.

  • RMI Object Port specifies the second of two TCP/IP ports that are required for the system components to communicate with one another.

    The default is for the host server to randomly create sockets on any available TCP/IP port. After this option is set, the host server uses this TCP/IP port for all new socket connections. If no port is specified, then Not Set populates the text box.

    If RMI Object Port is cleared, then the text Not Set populates the text box.

    The server.ini [firewall] host_server_default_port parameter is removed from server.ini.

  • RMI Callback Port

    To use this setting, you must open the RMI callback port on the firewall and set this RMI callback port on the host server side. This port is transparent to the end-user. That is, the end-user has no requirement to do any additional setting on the client side.

    Under non-security mode, you can set the RMI callback port to be the same as the RMI object port. You can also reuse the RMI object port for RMI callback service. If you set a valid RMI callback port, then the host server starts the RMI callback service. This service can pass through the firewall to support the RMI callback behavior. Otherwise, the RMI callback service is stopped.

    In security mode, you cannot reuse the RMI object port for RMI callback service. The RMI object port and RMI callback port must be different.

    If no port is specified, then Not Set populates the text box.

    Note: This setting is only required when there is a firewall on the client side.
