Each daemon listens on a certain "port". The port is specific to each server and the daemon(s) it runs. The Internet address of the server ("host") and the port it listens on must be correctly specified in CAS for a successful data conversation.
See below for a discussion on port forwarding.
The General Bytes CAS supports many different cryptocurrencies. Each one requires different parameters, and this is turn varies by the wallet provider you elect to use. This information may be known definitively to GB, and the wallet will be pre-populated with wallet providers (e.g. Coinbase, Kraken, etc). Other wallets are unknown to GB, but you have the option of using those wallets if you can acquire the required parameters from the wallet provider.

Port Forwarding
You need 2 servers to share information? There’s many ways to do that, but the most private & secure method (so far) implements an SSH tunnel.
SSH is “Secure Shell”, and it’s basically an encrypted exchange of data between your computer & another. In the case of a SSH “tunnel”, you’re not involved. The computers talk to each other, with all the security & privacy guaranteed by SSH.
Typically, once an SSH tunnel is established, it is left in service the entire time. It’s never turned off (though it can be) but needs to be started every time one (or the other) computer is rebooted.
