5.1.2 On the Client
The MPLAB XC C compiler installer allows you to configure the TCP/IP port when you select ‘Network Client’ during installation. Port number 5053 is populated by default.

You can also configure a compiler that has been installed by using the xclm program. Use the xclm from the bin directory of the compiler in a CMD or terminal window:
xclm -netfile <port you want> <your server name or IP
address>
This command will modify the file called xclm.conf
located in the etc
directory of the compiler.
Example:
xclm -netfile 2700 melody
