Connection Manager Ports

The following figure shows the default ports in Connection Manager. It also shows the ports and IP addresses used in a simple Connection Manager installation.

Given below is a description of the ports and how Connection Manager is configured.
Note: The TCP ports shown are the default ports as configured when the CMA and CMS are installed.

Internet Server

When Internet Server requires a connection to the internal network, it makes a connection to the CMA over port 41080. During IS initialization, IS listens on one HTTPS port: 443 or 7443: It waits for connections from Command Center to configure the MFTIS CM properties When Command Center needs to configure the Internet Server Connection Manager properties, it will make a connection to the Internet Server HTTPS port (Typically 443 or 7443).

CMA:

During CMA initialization, CMA listens on four ports:
  • 41080: Waits for connection requests from IS
  • 48443: Waits for connections from Command Center to configure the CMA properties
  • 48000: Waits for CMS Control Channel connections
  • 48001: Waits for CMS Data Connections (requested by CMA over the CMS Control Channel)

CMS:

During CMS initialization, CMS listens on one port: 48443: It waits for connections from Command Center to configure the CM properties At Initialization time, and each time a new CMA is activated, or a CMA connection is lost, CMS attempts to connect to CMA port 48000. If this connection fails, CMS waits 30 seconds and tries again.

When CMA requests a connection from CMS, CMS connects to the remote server (example Oracle DB Server). Once that connection is complete, CMS connects to the CMA Server on Port 48001(Data Connection Port).

Command Center:

Command Center communicates with the IS, CMA and CMS servers to configure the Connection Manager properties:
  • CMA: using port 48443
  • CMS: using port 48443
  • IS: using port 443 or 7443
