NAS Port Setting

JohnCon

Does anyone know how to change the port that NAS runs on?

The NAS doesn't need a port to run.

NAS runs on port 7528 by default. I want to set this to another port.

Do you mean the messagequeue? Or something else?
Because like I said : the NAS itself doesn't use a port. I just checked (you got me doubting it for a moment!) and I didn't find anything in the manual (w1w1atas.pdf).

I have solved this issue, but just for information NAS does use a port. And can be changed:

To define the port number for the NAS, use the Navision Application Server Manager snap-in console or command line start. In the “Start-Up Parameter” field value specify:
NAS Port = 7528 when using NAS
BN Port = 7529 when using the mini NAS that is part of Business Notifications
CG Port=7530 when running NAS with commerce gateway
Where:
752X represents the receiving port number and can be change to any free port number.

If you are to run more than one (let's say two) NAS on one machine, then in addition to the above step, there is a need to add the following lines into the SERVICES file typically located in the “C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc” folder of the server machine:
NAS1 7528/tcp
NAS2 7529/tcp

Where:
NAS1 and NAS2 are the names of the NAS services.
7528 and 7529 represents the receiving port numbers and can be change to any free port number.

Further information can be found on the "Installation and System Management: E-Commerce Solutions" (W1W1InstEcomm.PDF) document file located in the Navision Product CD. By the way this document was left off the 4.00 disk and I had to find it on the 3.7 disk.

I checked the document.
And like I said:the NAS itself doesn't need a port. It is the e-commerce software run BY the NAS that needs it.
It writes that if you need multiple NAS for e-commerce, they need a different port to listen to.

Thank you for the nas port information posted. This resolved my issue with not getting the Navision Communication Server and ADCS up and running.

Found that the trick was:
-Installed the 400SP2 Navision Client
-Installed the 400SP2 Navision Application Server Services
-Installed MS Loopback Adapter (ip address created as 169.254.25.129)
-Installed the 400SP3 ADCS. Choose this installation as I struggled with using the SP2 version. During the installation of 400SP3 ADCS it asks for an IP address and used the ip from the loopback adapter and asked for the nas port number. Used the noted default (7528) and it worked. \:D/

Now to sit and test the ADCS and miniform functionality!

NAS definitely runs on default ports as it communicates using TCP/IP.
