1Click 3DM 2 Settings on the menu bar.

2In the Incoming Port # section of the 3DM 2 Settings page, enter the port number in the Listening Port field.

3Click Change Port.

The page refreshes, and a message at the top of the screen confirms that the listening port has been changed.

Setting the Frequency of Page Refreshes

Since the status of the drives attached to your 3ware RAID controller can change while you are viewing information about them in 3DM, it is important to refresh the page information regularly. That way you can be assured that the information you see in 3DM is current.

You can manually refresh the information on a page by clicking Refresh Page in the menu bar. But you can also have 3DM refresh the information on a regular basis.

To set the frequency of page refreshes

1Click 3DM 2 Settings on the menu bar.

2In the Page Refresh section of the 3DM 2 Settings page, select how often you want the page to be refreshed in the Minutes Between Refresh field.

Note: If you do not want 3DM to refresh the screen automatically, select Never in the Minutes Between Refresh field. You can then refresh manually by clicking Refresh on your web browser.
