Configure TCP Port

Top  Previous  Next

The TCP Port is the network port on the server computer that the Complete Time Tracking Professional database server application uses to provide connections to the central database from client computers.

 

The TCP Port can be changed to suit your network or firewall configuration. If possible you should use the default TCP Port 18400 as this will avoid the need for users to specify the TCP Port in the server field of the login window.

 

Note: The Complete Time Tracking Professional database server application will be automatically restarted if you change the TCP Port. You should ask all users to log off before changing the TCP Port to prevent interruption to their connections to the server computer.

 

HOW-TO

Configure the TCP Port

1.Run the Server Manager program (from the Windows Start menu).
2.On the Server tab select the Change button next to the Server TCP Port displayed.
3.In the Server TCP Port window enter the required TCP Port and click OK.

4.The Complete Time Tracking Professional database server application is restarted automatically to listen for incoming connections on the new TCP Port. Inform users of the new format of the server field required when logging in.
