Default TCP/IP ports

The various system protocols (fox, foxs, etc.) manage communication across specific ports.

This table summarizes the default TCP/IP port numbers following commissioning. You may change these ports as needed. If a firewall or router blocks a port, communication fails. Be aware of this potential and make appropriate exemption rules where necessary.

Protocol Default port Type of communication Security To change this port...
fox 1911 station not secure expand Config > Services, and double-clickFoxServices.
foxs 4911 station secure

 NOTE: Do not enable Use Ssl or Use Start Tls without configuring the port as indicated in this table. Refer to the Secure Communication chapter for more information about these ports and properties.

email, incoming account, Use Ssl 993 (IMAP), 995 (POP3) receive secure
email outgoing account, Use Ssl 465 send secure
email, incoming account, Use Start Tls 143 (IMAP), 110 (POP3) receive secure
email, incoming account, Use Start Tls 587 send secure

After changing a port for an individual station, disconnect from the station, and restart the station using Application Director. If you change the fox or foxs port, when you reconnect, use File > Open > Open Station. This gives you the opportunity to change the default communication port: 1911 for fox and 4911 for foxs. Otherwise, you will be unable to connect.
