Modify the BlastPad Communication Port

Important: During installation of the DataBlast Service, the default BlastPad communication port number (14901) is reserved. If this port number needs to be changed, this activity should be performed by the DataBlast System Installer, who must have adequate network, domain and administrator permissions to the installation machines.

BlastPad communicates with the DataBlast Service via an HTTP port.

Activity Steps

1. On the DataBlast Server machine, open the Windows Command Prompt with administrator permissions.
2. To assign the new port number, run the following command, but replace 14901 with the new port number.
   Copy

   netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:14901/ sddl=”D:(A;;GX;;;WD)”

3. To remove the old port number, run the following command, but replace 14901 with the old port number.
   Copy

   netsh http delete urlacl url=http://+:14901/
