But, as I told you, we shouldn't predetermined ports because others

I believe, these ports should be dynamic and the main application
needs a way to know these informations.
You can minimize the possibility of interference by avoiding the use of
well-known and registered ports:

Option 1: Pick some obscure port, for example 12375 (I just made it up).
Option 2: Your server can attempt to bind to a range of commonly free
ports, pick the first open port and write it to a file or registry or
other location that can be read by potential clients.
