 The WebSocket Event Stream API
 ==============================
 
+.. important::
+    The WebSocket Event Stream runs on a different port than the Web API. The
+    default port for the Web API is `9984`, while the one for the Event Stream
+    is `9985`.
+
 BigchainDB provides real-time event streams over the WebSocket protocol with
 the Event Stream API.
