It's the proper word but it's mostly a host/client configuration
issue. You can configure and access a different port if you are
using Firebird 1.5 or higher. Chapter 9 of the Firebird 1.5.3
release notes, "Configuring the Port Service
on Client and Server", explains in detail what you need to do.

In IBO, you append :port_number to the Server property in your
TIB_Connection. So, for example, if the server's hostname is
"Hotbox" and the port is changed to 30050 , the Server property would
be Hotbox:30050

It won't work if the server and client machines have not been
configured to expect the gds_db service to broadcast from that port.
