Start Wms Services - Nortel 2350 User Manual

Near the end of the installation process, the installer displays the following service ports that WLAN Management
Software Services will use:
• 443—HTTPS server port
• 162—SNMP trap receiver port
You can change one or both port numbers to prevent conflicts with other applications on the same host.
Note.
Multiple applications cannot use the same UDP or TCP port on the same host. For
example, port 443 is defined by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) as the
well-known HTTPS port. If the host on which you install WMS Services uses its default
HTTPS port (443) and the same host also runs Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)
on its default HTTPS port (443), there will be a conflict over the port. WLAN Management
Software clients will not be able to communicate with WMS Services.
Note.
If you plan to use the remote configuration option to configure new switches, you
must use port 443 for WMS Services. When a switch requests its configuration from WMS
Services, it sends the request to port 443.
