By default, The TCP port numbers start at 7001 for serial port 1 and increase incrementally by one (+1) up to the number of serial ports that your console server supports. For example, an ACS console server with eight serial ports has TCP ports 7001 through 7008. If these ports are already in use within your system, the default settings may duplicate and fail. If this occurs, change the default TCP base port for the serial port.
The communication between the DSView 3 software plug-in and the ACS console server may be through a standard connection or through a proxy server. ACS console servers use a Secure Shell protocol (SSH). See
ACS Console Server Communication Ports table for port usage information.
