Specify Port Numbers

Option

Description

Use default port numbers

Select this check box to use the default Netop port number 6502 for Receive port and Send port.

Port number 1970 is officially registered to Netop Remote Control. However, port number 6502 is the preferred default port number for compatibility with older Netop versions.

Receive port

If the Use default port numbers check box is selected, the port number 6502 is displayed.

If the Use default port numbers check box is not selected, the number is editable. You can specify a number in the range 1025-65535.

Send port

If the Use default port numbers check box is selected, the number 6502 is displayed.

If the Use default port numbers check box is not selected, the number is editable. You can specify a number in the range 1025-65535.

The Send port number of the source module should correspond to the Receive port number of the destination module.

Options

Select the Use TCP for session if possible check box to connect by TCP/IP, but if available on Guest and Host, switch to TCP/IP (TCP) when connected for high speed session communication.

Netop Name Server

Option

Description

Use Netop Name Server

Select this check box to use Netop Name Server to resolve Netop names into IP addresses.

Using Netop Name Server will facilitate connecting across segmented IP networks including the Internet.

Primary

Use the default name nns1.netop.com of the primary public Netop Name Server on the Internet, or specify the IP address or DNS name of a primary Netop Name Server on your corporate network.

Secondary

Use the default name nns2.netop.dk of the secondary public Netop Name Server on the Internet, or specify the IP address or DNS name of a secondary Netop Name Server on your corporate network.

Ignore port information from Name Server

Select this check box to replace the destination module Receive port number received from Netop Name Server by the port number specified below.

Note

Some types of firewalls replace sent Receive port numbers by invalid port numbers to protect network computers against connection attempts. In that case, Netop Name Server will receive, store and return invalid Receive port numbers, which must be replaced by valid Receive port numbers.

Use Port

Specify the port number that should replace the Receive port number received from the Netop Name Server.

Note

To use Netop Name Server, specify the applicable Name Space ID under Tools > Program Options > Host Name > Netop Name Server.
