You must also either edit the bwserver.ini file or reinstall WebAccess software and specify the new TCP ports. Finally, the you must stop and restart either WebAccess Network Service (webvrpcs) via the Windows Task Manager or restart the computer. The appropriate windows service must also be modified (e.g. www service and SMTP service) for the new port numbers.

To change TCP Ports used by a SCADA Node through a  firewall (Primary TCP Port ), go to the Home page in the Project Manager, then select Update for the desired Project. To change the SMTP Port or POP3 email port, got to SCADA Node Properties and modify SMTP Port and/or Email Port. The user must also either edit the bwserver.ini file or reinstall WebAccess software and specify the new TCP ports. Finally, the user must stop and restart either WebAccess Network Service (webvrpcs) via the Windows Task Manager or restart the computer. The SMTP service, if used or modified, for the new port number.
