eBridge8PCRX
Note: Port 80 is the default port used for web browsing. Because of this, in order to prevent the average user from
hosting a web server, most ISPs BLOCK traffic using port 80 from reaching the average site. If you only plan to
monitor your eBridge8PCRX on a LAN, you can use port 80, and don’t have to concern yourself with routers.
However, if you desire remote access to your eBridge8PCRX, you MUST select functional ports and set up the
port forwarding in your router. Other ports, such as 8080 and 8000 are sometimes blocked by ISPs as well.
What port(s) should be used? There are 65,535 valid IP ports to choose from.
These are broken down into three groups:
• Well Known Ports 0 through 1023.
• Registered Ports 1024 through 49151.
• Dynamic and/or Private Ports 49152 through 65535.
So, rather than encounter a port conflict by choosing a port commonly used for another purpose (like port 25 for SMTP
mail or port 448 for secure sockets), choose an ‘unusual’ port number. For example, add 50,000 to your house number:
50,123 is less likely to lead to a port conflict. For a list of the known and registered ports,
