What port numbers should I use?
Ideally you should follow our step by step instructions for the specific application you`re using, if available. If not available, or if you`re using some custom software, then the port numbers you`ll need are below.

These are industry standard port numbers, apart from alternatives we have provided for client convenience.

Note - we can not provide you specific instructions for the software you`re using if it`s not on our list which you can find by clicking here. For instructions on how to set up your software please contact the company that provided it to you.
