A downstream LDM connects to an upstream LDM server using port 388 of the server's host and an ephemeral port on the downstream host. When data- products flow on this connection, the same port numbers are used (388 on the upstream and the ephemeral port on the downstream). > Would it be helpful to have the upstream LDM try > telnet over that port to see if it is open? I'm afraid that having an upstream site telnet(1) to a downstream site wouldn't help us diagnose the problem for the reasons given. > Thanks, > Justin Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: NDJ-862794 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Open
