Anyone have insight about the gateway and non-default CA ports?

Interesting, when I try the default ports, the gateway works. My 
question is that
1) do I have to use the default ports for gateway?
2) If I can use other ports, why do 5080 & 5081 not work? What is so 
special about these two ports?

Thanks,
Jingchen

Thanks Paul. Yes, we has a firewall between two private subnets, but it 
is configured to allow all traffics and opened up to all ports. Like any 
other gateways we had before, we didn't use the default port.

Thanks,

Jingchen,
Have you a firewall enabled?  EPICS uses ports 5064 & 5065 by default.
It looks like your port is 5081 .... I'm not sure if that is tandard for 
the firewall but I don't think so.
