Configuring Listeners
Listeners define which TCP/IP ports the gateway will listen on, and defines the properties of those ports such as whether the port supports TLS and HTTP2, etc. HTTP requests enter the gateway through Listeners. To access the Listeners list, select Listeners from the Menu.
To create a Listener, select the Add action icon from the Listeners list. To edit an existing Listener, select it from the List.
