Ports used

The chart below lists the possible network communications used when ERAS is installed. The process EHttpSrv.exe listens on TCP port 2221 and the process era.exe listens on TCP ports 2222, 2223, 2224 and 2846. Other communications occur using native operating system processes (e.g., ”NetBIOS over TCP/IP”).
