How to specify a port in connection

Question

My server uses port#1988 But I don't see any option in connection wizard where I can mention the port number.

Answer 1

The TCP connection string options are described in Creating a Valid Connection String Using TCP/IP:

connection string in the format tcp:<servername>[\<instancename>],<port> or tcp:<IPAddress>[\<instancename>],<port>.

So you need to put this as the machine name in the connection wizard: tcp:machine,1988
