Hi Allan,

I don't think that you missed anything on the docs and I've never seen 
anything like that. However,  1970 is still a valid port for both web and 
console server and it is possible that NMC is not usig the defaults.

Check with "nestat -a" or equivalent what process is accepting connections on 
port 1970 on the NMC server or maybe on other hosts sitting between NMC 
server and  clients.
