Network Settings: UDP Port/TCP Port
The
UDP port
and
TCP Port
fields allow you to specify which
port numbers the USB Server will communicate on. This
communication happens between the USB Server hardware and
software. By default, these ports are set to 3842. Port 3842 is
reserved for exclusively for the Keyspan USB Server. Other IP
services (ie ftp, email, web, etc) cannot use this reserved port.
UDP Port
(default is 3842)
: Change this setting to change the
UDP port number that the USB Server will broadcast itself on.
Other computers configured to use this UDP port number will be
able to see this USB Server. This setting is useful if you wish to
limit the number of people connecting to a particular USB Server
or if you want to hide a USB Server from other users on your
network.
IMPORTANT NOTE
: If you change your server's UDP Port number in the
Admin
tab, you will also need to tell the Keyspan USB Server software to
'listen' to the new port. To do this, select the
Local UDP Port
command in
the Keyspan USB Server application's
Config
menu (for details, see the
Config Menu
sub-section later in this section). You only need to change the
Local UDP Port if you've changed the USB Server's UDP port.
TCP Port
(default is 3842)
: Change this port to change the TCP
port that the USB Server uses to transmit USB data.
Tech Note
:
UDP/TCP Ports and Firewalls
:
For most users, there is no
need to change the USB Server's UDP and TCP ports however certain firewalls
may block traffic to the default UDP and TCP ports. In these instances, you
can either change the port numbers or configure your firewall to allow
connections via USB Server's configured UDP and TCP ports.
Applying/Canceling Server Settings
Once you have changed the server's settings, you will need to apply your changes in order for the
changes to take effect. To do this, click the
Apply Changes
button (see next image).
