The port that the Component Manager listens to for incoming events.
The default is 6003.
By entering an event port you configure the Component Manager to
automatically respond to new events as they occur. When you specify
an event port, the Component Manager responds to both the component's
polling rate and to the incoming events. For example, if a component's
polling rate is 10000 (10 seconds), the Component Manager automatically
queries the associated component queue every 10 seconds. If after
3 seconds an event comes in, the Component Manager again queries
the component queue and processes any additional work found there.
Alternatively, if you set the event port to 0, the Component Manager
does not automatically respond to new events as they occur; instead,
the Component Manager polls periodically for new events, based on
the polling rate you set
for each component.
