HTTP port 3011 is monitored by the host’s platform daemon
for regular platform client connections (connections that are not
secure). You may change this port for specific firewall reasons, or,
perhaps, for additional security. This differs from the port used
for station (Foxs) connections that is secure.
Your network firewall will allow communication through the
newly-configured port. You are working in Workbench and are connected to a remote controller platform.
- Expand the Platform node in the
Nav tree or double-click Platform.
The contents of the Nav Container view opens in the tree
or in the main view.
- Double-click
Platform Administration.
The Platform Administration view
opens.
- Click Change HTTP Port.
The
Update Platform Daemon HTTP Port window opens.
- Enter a different port number and click OK.
When you click OK, the platform
daemon restarts, and your platform connection reopens (this does not
affect the operation of any running station). If the platform was
previously connected on the port without security, the platform icon
shows in the Nav tree with the new HTTP port number (:n) in parenthesis.
- Before closing the host, which removes it from the Nav
tree, carefully note the new (non-default) port number you entered.
You must specify this port number the next time you open a platform
using a connection that is not secure.
- To check this port number in a station running on the host,
expand and double-click PlatformServices.
The Platform Daemon Port property
should reflect the change you just made.
