By default, Perspective uses Net.TCP port 808 for RealTime Services (DispatchLog). To use DispatchLog, you’ll need to configure the site bindings in Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager on the web server and in the Perspective_default.config file to show port 808 or another specific port you’ve selected.
This article provides instructions on changing the Net.TCP port to 808, however, an alternate port can be selected as needed.
Note: This article provides only basic Windows Firewall configurations for the port. Additional configurations may be required for network firewalls.
