Finding the Port Number

Use this section to find the port number of the server computer.

    Note:
  • If using a single machine, find the port number of the computer on which you install the software.
  • If using more than one machine and you want all of them connected to the same database, find the port number of the server computer.

To find the port number:

  1. In the Windows search box on the taskbar, type command prompt, then select Command Prompt from the menu.
  2. In the Command Prompt dialog, type netstat -nao | find "TCP    0.0.0.0:" | find "LISTEN", and then press Enter.
      Important:
    • When typing the netstat -nao | find "TCP    0.0.0.0:" | find "LISTEN" command, make sure that there are four blank spaces between TCP and 0.0.0.0:.
    Once the command is executed, you see five columns displayed.
  3. If 0.0.0.0:8080 is not displayed in the second column containing local addresses, make sure that 8080 is entered in the Port Number field.
  4. If 0.0.0.0:8080 is displayed in the second column containing local addresses, choose an integer value greater than 1024 and less than 65535 that is not displayed after the colon. In Auto Color Adjuster Server Settings Port Number, enter the chosen value not displayed after the colon.
    Example: If 0.0.0.0:18024 is not displayed in the second column of local addresses, enter 18024.
  5. Enter exit, and press the Enter key.
