The Network screen allows you to enable and disable various remote access functions, like Clients, and change various ports used by the Remote Clients and Web Clients, among other options. Note that a change to ports here will require a change to default port settings on the Remote and Web Clients. 

While we recommend that customers NOT use the default ports for security reasons, it is important to note the port settings used and keep those settings written down for network administrators. 

Network Administrators should be made aware of the ports required for Client to Server communications. Router configurations will need updated if the ports are changed. Care should be taken to avoid port conflicts with other software in use on the Server and Clients.
