When the primary server is down the IP port for the secondary the client is trying to connect to is 8043 rather than 8088.  
I know that 8043 is the port for SSL connections but I don't want it to use an SSL connection.  
Is there a setting that I can change to force it to use port 8088 when the primary server is offline/unreachable.  
I tried to uncheck "Use SSL" in the Backup Node Settings under the Redundancy tab.

I'm using Ignition version 8.1.10
