Note a bout Sy m form s e rv ic e :
Web administration interface TCP port: 59234
Contribution TCP port: Defined randomly during Symform setup and can be
changed if necessary.
All TCP outbound ports are mandatory.
The hard drive standby function of the NAS may not work when contribution is in
use, because Symform service always reads and writes data on the hard drives.
Symform with contribution requires network bandwidth. If contribution is enabled,
there will always be communication between the NAS and Symform Cloud. This
may cause network utilization and the bandwidth can be limited as needed.
