The previous section describes the connection details for EnSight's legacy connection methods. While still valid in EnSight 2024 R2, EnSight is migrating to using EnShell for launch and network communication. See EnShell for more information.

With EnShell, a user (or site) specifies the TCP/IP network names and port numbers along with which direction the connect() / listen() occur. This allows a site much greater flexibility to work within the network constraints of their computational environment.

The default CEIStart configurations Remote Server and Remote SOS as shipped use the same TCP/IP port numbers and connection directions as the legacy methods (see the preceding section). However, a site could adapt these configurations to use alternative connection details. Please contact Ansys Support if you need guidance.
