Connecting Enterprise Manager on non-standard port?

Is it possible to configure Enterprise Manager to connect to a remote
server on a non-standard port, without changing the port for ALL of
the registered servers?
I see that I can use the Client Network Utility to change the "default
port" for TCP/IP. But I have several servers registered, and only one
of them uses a non-standard port.
One would think that the port should be one of the Server Registration
Properties, but it doesn't appear to be.
I found one thread that came close to addressing this question, but it
dead-ended before getting quite to the point:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...server.clients
When registering the server, use the following format:
servername, portnumber
e.g.
sqlabc, 5500

|||Excellent, that does the trick. Thank you!
Just out of curiosity... do you happen to know if this is documented
in BOL? I don't see it.

|||Hi
I have found any, but EM uses the same format as you would specify for a ADO
connection.

|||It occurred to me that I can also do this (specify an alternate port)
by defining an alias for the server in the Client Network Utility.
