Ports are created as a method to provide communication and connections between the client applications and the Application Server. The Application Server supports two types of ports: ADSP (AppleTalk) and TCP/IP. A TCP/IP port must be defined within the Application Server before a client application can be used (ADSP ports are optional).
Configuring ports in the Application Server Shell
1. Select Ports from the Configuration menu. This will open the Ports Setup dialog box.
2. To configure the required TCP/IP Port, type the appropriate port number in the Port Number field. By default, the Application Server uses port number 7000 for its TCP/IP port number.
3. OPTIONAL: To enable and configure the ADSP Port, click the ADSP check box and type the appropriate port name in the Port Name field.
 | You must have AppleTalk Services installed and running on your Windows 2003 server to enable the ADSP port to function properly. |
4. Click OK. This will save the changes you have made to the port configuration. For these changes to take effect, you will need to restart the Application Server.
5. Restart the Application Server by selecting Stop from the Server menu (to stop the Application Server) and then selecting Start from the Server menu (to restart the Application Server).
| Any clients connected to the Application Server at the time the server is restarted will be disconnected. Users will have to reconnect with the new port setting used by the Application Server.* |
At this point, the new port configuration is in effect. If for any reason the Application Server does not start, please refer to the Application Log in the Event Viewer program provided with the Windows Server operating system.
