CAM Access Points and Pre-14.1 Hosted Installations

Install CAM 14.1 or Later

Starting with CAM version 14.1, the CAM Access Point runs on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) instead of running as a Windows service. By default, IIS will use port 80 or port 443 to communicate instead of port 5002, which was used by the access point proxy/Windows service in CAM 14.0. We recommend using the default IIS ports.

• If you installed CAM 14.0 and have CAM Agents pointing to an access point proxy, and you choose the default installation, you must update any agents that were connected to their old access point to point to the new port (e.g., port 80 or port 443). Follow the steps in Installing or Upgrading CAM in a Hosted Environment, and in CAM Web Components, specify your port.

• If you have installed CAM 14.0 and have CAM Agents pointing to an access point proxy, and you want to continue to use port 5002 and the URL defined in version 14.0 for your upgrade to version 14.1, complete the following steps to set up the website on port 5002 prior to installing the access point.

To Continue to Use Port 5002 and the URL from CAM Version 14.0
