About Administering Universal Messaging
You can perform various administrative tasks on a Universal Messaging server instance using the Command Central web or command-line interface.
Command Central administers a Universal Messaging server instance by using one of the ports (interfaces) of the server. Command Central checks the ports (interfaces) of a Universal Messaging server instance in the following order and chooses the first port (interface) that connects with the server:
1. Interfaces that use HTTP protocol (nhp)
2. Interfaces that use socket protocol (nsp)
3. Interfaces that use HTTPS protocol (nhps)
4. Interfaces that use SSL protocol (nsps)
Note: Command Central will use a secured port (nhps and nsps) to connect with a Universal Messaging server instance only if the client-side certificates are not required for establishing the connection. Command Central does not use ports that use shared memory protocol (shm).
At any point, if there is a disconnection between Command Central and the Universal Messaging server, Command Central will identify another port using the same order to check the next available port for communicating with the Universal Messaging server.
