Yes, in prompted mode you have one more port to worry about. Polling mode uses the port for data transfers while prompting uses separate port. The reason is the need to drive in prompting mode the client on the TSM server itself. Thus server is on 1500 (default) and prompted client is on 1501.

Hi Mark But as far as I understand it, once the scheduler in prompted mode is initiated by the server to do the backup, the baclient will still initiate a connection from the outside to the server on port 1500 or whatever port is configured.
