5.(Optional - IPv6 only) Select IPv6 Proxy Port to use the IPv6 protocol to connect to the SSH server. The preset port is 4123; typically, the IPv6 proxy port number is one increment higher than the SSH server port. If you wish to change the port, enter a port value in the range 1- 65535 in the Port field.

If DSView 3 clients are located on an external connection, the specified SSH server port must be opened on your firewall.
