Configuring the AP Server for Text-to-Speech

You can send a text-to-speech message from the CA Automation Point server using either a Speak Notification Manager method or the ALARMSAY rules keyword.

The AP server sends the text-to-speech messages to the client computer through a common TCP port number. The default port number is set at 5700 on both the server and client sides. If there is a port number conflict with other applications, you can change the sender port number on the AP Server using Configuration Manager.

To change the sender port number

1. From Configuration Manager, choose Expert Interface, Automation, Automation Point Desktop Settings,
2. Change the value in the Text-to-Speech Port Number field.

You must configure the new port number on all your text-to-speech client computers. Remember that the listener port must match the sender port.
