CHANGING PORTS ON YOUR SYSTEM

For added security, we strongly recommend changing HTTP port 80 on the system to any desired port—the port must not blocked by your Internet service provider (ISP).

NOTE: Please contact your ISP for complete information on available ports in your area.

If you change the default port on the system from 80 to a different value, you MUST enter http:// and the port number after the IP address.
