EPICenter Utilities
You can run the utility from the Programs menu. You do not need to shut down the EPICenter services
(Web Server or database) in order to change the port configurations. However, the new configurations
will not take effect until you restart the affected server(s).
To run the Port Configuration utility, do the following:
1 Run the program from the Windows Start menu:
Select Programs, then Extreme Networks, followed by EPICenter 4.1, then Port Configuration.
The EPICenter Port Configuration window appears, as shown in Figure 229.
Figure 229: EPICenter Port Configuration Utility
2 Type in new port values for the ports you want to change.
You can use the standard Windows Cut, Copy, and Paste functions from the Edit menu, or use the
keyboard shortcuts ([Ctrl]+X, [Ctrl]+C, and [Ctrl]+V) to move values among the fields.
The Apply button is enabled when there is text in some edit field.
3 Click Apply to record the settings you have entered.
Click the Reset button for a specific port to reset that port to its default value. The Reset button for a
field is enabled when the corresponding values in the “Current port value” field is something other
than the default.
Click Done when you have finished making and applying changes. Any new text in the edit fields,
that has not been applied, is discarded.
The utility checks to see if it can open the requested new port number(s). If the new port number is
in use, the utility reports this fact and asks if you want to keep the new value anyway.

To have the new port settings take effect, restart the server(s) whose ports you have changed.
Changes do not take effect until the corresponding service is stopped and restarted.
However, after applying the new values, the entries under “Current port value” are updated. This
information can be misleading if you have not yet restarted the corresponding services. In particular,
if you dismiss and re-run the Port Configuration utility before you restart the affected services, the
“Current port value” fields will reflect the changed values which are not yet in effect.
If the servers are running as system services, you can restart your system, or stop and restart the
servers using the Services utility from the Windows Control Panel.
If the EPICenter servers are not running as NT system services, you must manually stop and restart
the servers.
