Server Processes

After you have configured computers, network addresses and clusters, you can add server processes and assign them to clusters and computers. Primary and Standby Alarms, Reports, Trends, and I/O server processes can be added in the Topology activity of Citect Studio.

Default Ports

Each server process has a unique default port assigned to it. This default port may only be used with that type of server process. Attempting to use a default port on another type of server process will result in a compilation error message:

"Invalid port number (2073-2082,20222,21) are reserved"

The following table lists the default port numbers and their associated server process type.
