By default the server uses port 2711, which is where your listeners will connect to, if you need to change this
this can be done in the config file.
The server can be remotely administered by telneting to it's admin port, by default port 2710 like so:
[dj@megajukebox Fluid−Beta2J]$ telnet localhost 2710
Trying 127.0.0.1..megajukebox
Connected to localhost.localdomain.

[dj@megajukebox config]$ cat MP3TX.cfg
2711
