Postrequisites
If you change the default port for one AMS Trex unit, Emerson recommends setting all
AMS Trex units to exchange data on that port. All AMS Device Manager stations that
synchronize with AMS Trex units must also have the same port number. See AMS Device
Manager Release Notes for details on changing port settings on the PC.
