Technical Details

what runs on :8051

Rocrail’s server uses TCP port 8051 by default for client connections. Clients such as Rocview exchange XML-based commands and status updates with the server, which coordinates the layout and its connected control hardware. This is a Rocrail-specific service, not a general-purpose web or remote-login port.
