Important Note for Configuring Port Numbers On a Windows system, if you are using HPOV as your third party NMS application, you would require the IIS service to be enabled for HPOV to install and run. The IIS web server runs on SSL port 443, which is the default port for the LMS web server when installing LMS. To avoid a conflict, you should change the SSL port number of the LMS web server from 443 to another port that is available, and that has a number in the range 1026 to 65535, except 6000. Port number 6000 is reserved by Firefox, if you enter 6000 as the SSL port number, after installation (for all the three operating systems), you will not be able to launch LMS using the Firefox browser.
