The port is random unless you define it. You need to allow the program to 
listen, once it is allowed to listen it will tell the TSM server what port to 
use.
Try this on 2008 and 2008 R2: (use at your own risk, but it is what I use)
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="IBM Tivoli Storage Manager CAD" 
dir=in program="C:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\dsmcad.exe" action=allow

To define the ports add this in the dsm.opt and set the node definition on the 
TSM server to match.
httpport 1581
webports 1501 1581

Subject: [ADSM-L] Webport defaults

What are the default ports for the webport option?
Tcpclientport is 1501.

I am running into problems on win 2008, and need to know what are the defaults 
so as to open up the firewall.

Thanks for the help.
