Advanced Gateway Settings
In addition to customizing the Gateway's homepage, there are a number of advanced features in the Gateway that you can customize, such as changing ports, changing the Java version, and changing the allocated memory size.
Port References
An Ignition server uses many ports to manage information between itself and other Ignition servers, OPC servers, devices, and other services such as SMTP and ERP servers. The following table describes the default ports an Ignition server may use for communication. Most are configurable and some of these ports may be on a computer other than the one Ignition is installed on (that is, if MySQL is installed on a different computer, the Ignition server will not be using port 3306).
