    I think it was because this number was used by Lantronix which make the Ethernet to RS232 interface which was used in the original CNI.

    There is no relationship.

    If you want to customize the Lantronix interface to other addressing ranges the information is on their website alongside some slightly newer firmware and management software.

    The defaults as specified by Clipsal are for support purposes. If you feel confident and can write down the changes, there is no reason why you can not setup alternative port numbers.

    You just need to make sure that you apply documentation to any changes because Clipsal can not guess any customisation.

    Port numbers don't have to be registered with IANA. They can be (to an extent) whatever you want them to be, and by good luck and good management things will work.

    And just before an application or vendor has notified IANA of a usage does not mean they have exclusive rights to that port. It is (after all) just a number. Of course, using 2 applications that want to use the same port number on the same machine might cause trouble.

    When talking to a device (eg a CNI) it is only listening on a few ports so there won't be any issues of that device (listening) having conlicts.
