After I do a JNDI look up , what I get is a reference to the Home of EJB Object.
But when I do an API call on Home/Remote , how does it find the URL/port of the server ?
Thanks

RMI makes this possible. The local objects you get on the client side are called stubs and know how to look over the network for their remote counterpart through RMI/IIOP. Quoting Understanding Java RMI Internals:
I also suggest to check this very nice article (a bit old but still nice) on TheServerSide: Under the Hood of J2EE Clustering (starting from EJB clustering implementation). It covers more than your initial question but is very interesting.
