KB0101471 typo? Port *1443* or *1433*?

Does this support doc have a typo? It refers to port 1443 for the default instance, but then recommends 1433.

Cause

The connection string does not use the correct port for the default instance (1443) and so it fails to connect.

Resolution

The Data Source can be configured to use port 1433 without the requirement Database Instance Name.

Leave the Database Instance Name field blank, so that the default value of MSSQLSERVER will be used.

Then, fill in the port 1433 to be used.

Yes, this appears to be a typo. The correct default port for Microsoft SQL Server is 1433.
Port 1443 does not correspond to any default SQL Server port and would typically only be used if someone configured a custom port manually.

HCL Team, it might be worth reviewing KB0101471 following this forum thread and updating the documentation if this is indeed a typo.
