Intro

This page will describe the network resources used by the Stoker.

Port 80: HTTP

Port 80 is the standard port used for HTTP communication.

Port 25: Telnet

This is the standard port used for telnet.

ICMP Echo Request/Reply Packets

These packets are used to support ping.

Port 12346: Stoker Upgrade

This is the port used by the Stoker for the upgrade procedure. The Stoker begins listening on this port as soon as it boots up. Once a connection is made, this port is used by the Windows-based PC application to send commands and as well as the upgrade image to the Stoker.

Port 44444: Socket-Based Control Port (not finalized)

There has been interest to ditch the HTML web page and instead use a custom protocol running on top of TCP/IP sockets for control and status. This will provide faster response and the ability for app designers to customize a front end to control the Stoker. Tentatively, port 44444 will be used as the control socket.
