LabOne Ports¶
Data Server Ports¶
The LabOne Data Server (as described in Software Architecture) serves as the main entry point for all communication with the instrument. The Data Server listens on a TCP/IP port for incoming connections from clients.
The following default ports are used by the Data Server:
| Port | Description |
|---|---|
| 8001 (N-3) | internal usage |
| 8002 (N-2) | internal usage |
| 8003 (N-1) | internal usage |
| 8004 (N) | The main port for communication with the Data Server (except HF2). |
| 8005 | The main port for communication with the HF2 Data Server. |
Warning
All ports must be accessible for the Data Server to function properly. This also applies when the data server runs in a container, e.g. Docker (see Docker).
Random Side Note
8005 is the zip code for the headquarters of Zurich Instruments in Zurich, Switzerland.
Changing the default Ports¶
The default ports can be changed by specifying the --port N command line switch when starting the Data Server.
Warning
If the command line switch --port N is used, the ports N-3 to N must be accessible.
