Ports and services convention
NewsBrowse software components are distributed among the machines that make up
the NewsBrowse system. These software components run as Windows services,
which communicate over designated ports. As you configure the NewsBrowse
system, you must correctly designate port numbers for NewsBrowse software
components (services), such that the port numbers and components match between
configuration pages.
Do not create your own convention for port usage. Designate ports as specified in the
following table:
These services are distributed on different machines in the system. They would not
normally run on any one machine, as explained in
“Accessing NewsBrowse services”
.
The NewsBrowse system also depends upon Microsoft Internet Information Services
(IIS) and SQL services.
Topics later in this manual provide specific instructions for entering port numbers on
each configuration page.
