The value in "Ports" specifies the valid range of ports on the server for use by RPC. (The value "6600-6610" is simply an example.) You can specify multiple ranges for availability by entering each range on a separate line. You will need to restart Windows for the changes to take effect. After you have specified which ports are available for use by RPC (port 135 and the ports you specified in the "Ports" value), you must configure your firewall to allow the MapAgent computer to establish a connection with the Autodesk MapGuide Server computer on these ports. The following diagram provides a basic overview of how the MapAgent and Autodesk MapGuide Server communicate over the firewall.

Warning This section does not address any security concerns regarding the configuration of your firewall. As with all changes to your firewall's configuration, your network administrator should assess the risks that a change may bring. Help Index data source properties If you set up more than one MapAgent (see "Using Multiple Servers" on page 56), be sure to specify the correct MapAgent when you set up the map layers. You do this on the Data Sources tab of the Map Layer Properties dialog box in Autodesk MapGuide Author. 74 | Chapter 4 Assembling and Administering Your Server
