Installing RMS on premise using non-standard ports

[Jeremy Wingate]

As per the device flow document standard RMS on premise installation uses port 80 for device communication and port 80/443 for end user communication.

In some organisations different ports may be required.

The below describes a test installation using different ports.
NOTE
- Any changes to standard install present risks
- Rotronic cannot provide support for every custom method of installation
- The below is for information only

First install RMS as normal and confirm operation using standard ports
- Load and run RMS from the server web browser
- SQL communication is unaffected

Now configure the web server to use the desired ports.

In IIS > Default Website
Change ‘Bindings…’ HTTP >> Port= 443 and IP address = Server IP
See attached image 1

Now load RMS and include the port eg 192.168.1.11:443/rms
- In RMS go to Tools > Setup > System
- Update RMS and wService PATH with <IP>:443…
See attached image 2

All RMS LAN devices must now be configured with appropriate Host name, Service Path AND port
RMS-Convertor, within the Pairing settings enter the IP as <Server IP>:<port> eg 192.168.1.11:443
Any API scripts will also require port changes in the address path.

Test and confirm stable operation. Be aware of different port / network rules in different areas of a customer site.
