How to change the hub probe default port
1 - Backup the robot and hub folders
(i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\robot)
(i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\hub)
2 - stop the 'Nimsoft Service Controller' running on the hub
3 - edit the hub.cfg (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\hub). In the <hub> section, set or add:
hubport = xxxxx
4 - now edit the robot.cfg (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\robot ) set:
5 - delete the hubs.sds and robot.sds from the hub folder (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\hub)
6 - start the 'Nimsoft Service Controller' running on the hub

I'm not 100% sure this can be recommended as it has always been the case that the hub port cannot be changed.
However it has been tested and it appears there are some certain situations when it does work, like when tunnels are used throughout, but with static routes it doesn't.
It also relies on overriding the default setup on robots and therefore you could get inconsistent results.
I would also warn against changing the primary hub port as this hasn't been tested and thought to be problematic.
In summary i suggest to not change the hub port unless you have a strong case.
