   • File-AID Services HTTP: 4180
   • File-AID/Data Solutions interface port: 5180
   • Communication manager port: 4901

You can also use the utility to change the port assignments configured with File-AID/EX and File-AID/Data Solutions (see Ports Used by File-AID Services and Task 5.3.2 Configure Enterprise Data Components on Mainframe).
