Knowledge Base / Frequently Asked Questions / Device ManageR (Legacy)
By default, Device ManageR runs on HTTP port 8080, making it accessible via web browser at localhost:8080 or <IP address of host system>:8080.
If you’d like to change the HTTP port for Device ManageR, follow these steps:
1. Open Device ManageR in your web browser. You may open it by entering ‘localhost:8080’ or ‘<IP address of host system>:8080’ in your browser’s address bar.
2. Select Settings in the navigation bar to the left.
3. In the Settings menu, select Web Server.
4. In Port for Web Access, enter a port number between 1024 and 65535.*
5. Select Save.
6. You’ll see the message, “The HTTP port for web access has been changed. Redirecting to new port in 10 seconds.”
7. Device ManageR will re-open at the new port in your web browser. In this example, Device ManageR re-opens at localhost:8081.
We recommend that you change the HTTP port using the web interface; however, if you know that Device ManageR’s default port, 8080, is already being used by another service on its host system, you’ll be unable to open it. In this case, you may change Device ManageR’s port by modifying one of its program files.
These instructions require you to start and stop the Device ManageR service. This FAQ shows you how: How To Stop, Start And Restart The Device ManageR Service.

4. In the “conf” folder, locate the “settings.xml” file.
5. Open that file in any text editor, such as Notepad or Notepad++.
