n
The port number that is the highest in a specified range.
You specify the lowest port number with the MinimumDynamic Server (-minport) parameter. The range of port numbers defined by the Maximum Dynamic Server (-maxport) and MinimumDynamic Server (-minport) parameters provides client access to an OpenEdge server that is behind a firewall. Some operating systems choose transient client ports in the 32,768-to-65,535 range. Choosing a port in this range might produce unwanted results.
