Modifying the host port setting

For users to access FH Web Edition through a firewall or router, administrators are able to modify the host port setting for the Application Publishing Service.

Caution: The Application Publishing Service must be running on a dedicated port. Conflicts may arise if another service is running on the same port. The default port number for both TCP and SSL is 491.

Note: After changing the host port, you must restart the Print Spooler Service and the FH Web Edition Application Publishing Service for client printing to work on a port other than the default port 491.

  1. From the list of All Hosts, select the host you want .
  2. Choose Tools → Host Options.
  3. Click the Security tab.
  4. In Port, type a new port number .

  5. Click OK.

    Note:

    • Once you modify the host port setting, you need to modify the port parameter from the FH Web Edition hyperlink. Use the port parameter followed by the new port number.

      Example: http://hostname/fhweb/logon.html?port=1667

    • Users running FH Web Edition from a shortcut need to append the -hp argument, followed by the new port number, to the shortcut.

      Example: "C:\Program Files\ACSXerox\FH Web Edition\Client\FH_Web.exe" -h server1 -hp 1667

    • Users can also specify the port number in the Connection dialog when signing in to FH Web Edition. In the Host Address box, type the host name or IP address, followed by a colon and the port number.

      Example: server1:1667>

    • If it is an IPv6 address, the IP address of the host must be in brackets.

      Example: [fe80::29c:29ff:fe95:519a]:491

    • If the new port number is not specified by either of these methods, users are unable to sign in to FH Web Edition.
