For debugging purposes, the details of this connection may be seen by using the console port to
place the DS appliance into Debug mode.
Figure B.2: Establishing Connection to a DS Appliance
The DSView management software establishes a TCP/IP session with the appliance over the TCP/
IP port 8192 (DES encryption) or 2068 (3DES or 128-bit encryption). The DSAuth Server will
establish a connection to the DS appliance using TCP/IP port 8191. The DSAuth Server then
communicates to the appliance to listen to port 8192 (DES encryption) or port 2068 (3DES or 128-
bit encryption) for a DSView management software connection. All communication between the
DS appliance and the DSView management software takes place over TCP/IP port 8192 until the
DSView management software closes the session.
If the system configuration includes a CPS810/CPS1610 appliance or DSR1021 switch, port 3211
is used to retrieve configuration information and perform status polling and power control
commands. Information is sent between the DSAuth Server and CPS810/CPS1610 appliance or
DSR1021 switch over port 3211 using the Avocent Secure Management Protocol (ASMP).
