How to fix a Speco Blue VMS Management server port conflict On Pc

This guide goes over the steps required to fix Speco Blue VMS Server port conflicts

Step 1: 

• Click on the Windows Search Bar: Locate the search bar on the bottom taskbar (usually next to the Start menu).

  • Enter "ServertrayUI" into the search field.

Step 2: 

• View Results: If the application is installed on your system, it should appear in the search results. Click on it to open.

• Alternative Method: If "ServertrayUI" doesn’t appear, try searching for "ServerTray" or simply "Tray," as sometimes the naming can vary slightly.

Step 3:

• Open ServerTrayUI:
  • Launch the ServerTrayUI and check the configuration settings for the Management Server to identify which port is being used (commonly 8080, 8443, etc.). In this case its 6003/7001.
    • If the program doesn't automatically open from the search menu, in the bottom left corner of the task bar, select the Hidden Icons arrow and click on the ServerTrayUI icon.
      
  • Stop the Management Server from running by selecting Stop next to the appropriate server. This will ensure that any changes you make to the configuration settings take effect without interference.
    • Once the Server Status reports 'Stopped' click on Configure.

Step 4:

• Select the desired port for configuration. Please ensure this port is available on the network. This number may be different for every user.
  • After making your selection, click OK to save the changes.

Step 5: 

• To apply your changes, restart the Management Server by selecting the Start button. Once completed, you can exit the ServerTrayUI.

Step 6: 

• Reopen the application: Launch Speco Blue VMS from your desktop shortcut or start menu. If an available port was selected during this process, the issue should be resolved.
