> #### Specifying the Fathom Web server port

> Fathom contains a Web server that allows you to connect to Fathom through the Web-based management console. By default, Fathom uses port 9090 for this Web server. If port 9090 is already in use on your system, or if you prefer to use another port, you can change the port used by Fathom.

> Note: If you change the port number, the Web server immediately stops and restarts on the new port. You must reconnect the console to Fathom on the new port.

> Once you set up the Web server port during the initial configuration, you can further modify its settings by choosing to use either the HTTP or the HTTPS protocol; you also have the option of setting up both protocols. See Chapter 8, "Setting up Secure Communications for Fathom Management," for more information.

> To change the port used by the Fathom Web server:

> 1. Scroll to the Web server port section of the Fathom Management Configuration page:

> 2. Accept the default port number 9090, or enter a different port number. Once you finish making configuration choices on this page and click Submit, the port number is referenced.
> If you change the Web server port, you will see the following message once you submit both the Fathom Management Configuration and the Getting Started pages:

> 3. Click OK to restart the Web server. You must then reconnect to Fathom, using the new port number in the browser's URL, and refresh the page.
