Port Number Reference

Change Sybase Unwired Platform component port numbers after installation, if necessary.

Proceed with caution when changing port numbers because the change might impact other configuration files that point to that port. You need to be aware of the default Sybase Control Center port numbers so you do not accidentally use these ports when you change Unwired Platform ports. You can change some Sybase Control Center default ports, but, in some cases, you should not.

Note: To make Unwired Server port number changes, temporarily stop the other service consuming those ports. Use Sybase Control Center to make the changes, then restart Unwired Server.

Note: Port numbers 5701, 5702, and 5011 should be reserved ports.

Port	Description	Default Port	Instructions for Changing
Data tier (CDB) server	Port number for the data tier that manages transactions between the enterprise information system and mobile devices.	5200	Do not change the CDB port.
Management ports	IIOP port number on which the Unwired Server listens for Sybase Control Center administration requests.	2000 2001 for secure management ( default)	Default is recommended. No change is required.
HTTP ports	HTTP port number on which Unwired Server listens for: Data change notification (DCN) events (server authentication). HTTP channel notification (mutual authentication).	8000 for HTTP 8001 for HTTPS	Configure in Sybase Control Center by selecting Configuration, clicking the Web Container tab and entering a new DCN port or secure DCN port, as required. See Configuring Security Profiles in Sybase Control Center for Sybase Unwired Platform online help.
Synchronization	Port numbers on which Unwired Server synchronizes data between the enterprise information system and mobile devices. Messaging port uses a proprietary encryption method, so communication is always encrypted.	2480 for replication 5001 for messaging	Configure in Sybase Control Center by selecting Configuration. In the Components tab, select Replication or Messaging, click Properties and enter a new synchronization port, as required. Note: If there is a conflict for port 2480 or 2481, Unwired Server will not start, and you cannot use Sybase Control Center to modify them. To correct the problem, you must temporarily stop the service that uses the conflicting port, then start Unwired Server. For replication payloads, see Configuring Replication Subscription Properties in Sybase Control Center for Sybase Unwired Platform online help. For messaging payloads, see Configuring Messaging Properties in Sybase Control Center for Sybase Unwired Platform online help.
Messaging server administration	Port number for the messaging service for Sybase messaging clients.	5100 for administration services	Cannot be changed in Sybase Control Center. Use the `SUP_HOME`\Servers\Messaging Server\Bin\AdminWebServicesTool.exe command line tool to change the messaging service Web service port. This tool has built in online help describing how to use the tool. From the command prompt run: `SUP_HOME`\Servers\Messaging Server\Bin > AdminWebServicesTool.exe set=<`port`> restart
Sybase Control Center	Additional default port numbers of which to be aware, when modifying port numbers.	9999 for default RMI agent port 2100 for default JMS messaging service port 3638 for default Sybase Control Center repository database port 8282, 8283 for default Web container ports	9999 – default RMI agent port. The port is set in: `SCC_HOME`\services\RMI\service-config.xml 2100 – default JMS messaging service port. The port is set in: `SCC_HOME`\services\Messaging\service-config.xml 3638 – default Sybase Control Center repository database port. The default port is set in: `SCC_HOME`\services\SccSADataserver\service-config.xml 8282, 8283 – default Web container ports. The default ports are set in: `SCC_HOME`\services\EmbeddedWebContainer\service-config.xml Before you make any changes to these files, stop Sybase Control Center X.X service. Start the service after you complete the changes. If any of the subsystems fail to start, check the Sybase Control Center agent.log for error messages.
Relay server	Port numbers on which Relay Server listens for requests.	80 for the HTTP port 443 for the HTTPS port	Change the value for the cluster in Sybase Control Center for Unwired Platform. You can then generate the file and transfer it to the corresponding Unwired Server host. See Setting Relay Server General Properties in Sybase Control Center for Sybase Unwired Platform.
Unwired Platform reserved	Port numbers reserved for internal use by Unwired Platform components	2638 4343 6001 5500 8002 27000	Do not use these special port numbers for any purpose. These ports differ from Windows reserved ports (1-1023). Note: Even if the installer does not detect a conflict at install time, Windows may later use ports in the 1024-64K range for other purposes. Read Microsoft documentation to determine how to reserve Unwired Platform ports. Otherwise, you may experience intermittent problems when starting up platform services due to Windows using these ports for some other purpose at the same time.
