TCP/IP Settings
TCP Port Base: You can freely specify the port base for viewer connection with the server. Choose any available port base, starting from the lowest alternative of Port 5900 in increments of 10 up to Port 6090. The port base you choose is exactly the port number the switch uses for viewer connection. Also, “port base + 8” is the exact port number you’ll use for secure http connection to the browser.
