Naim App loses Minimserver

[NASssd]

Simon and all who are reading this post,

If you are using Minimserver, a Synology, a Naim NDX2, and an Ipad, please be aware of the following things I learned the hard way. When upgrading to DSM 7.0 and Minimserver 2.1 follow the excellent directions Simon and Synology give. I did and it helped tremendously. My issue was spread across two items. The Synology firewall needs updated to specifically allow TCP ports 9790,9791 and UDP port 1900. The way my firewall was set up prior to the update to 7.0 had a blanket name for the ports (MinimServer UPnP media). Be sure to get rid of this old rule and create two new ones for these specific ports. The second and biggest issue is to have your Ipad on the latest software (in this case VS 15.2). When I updated the NDX2 and Ipad Naim app on the Last version of apple software I had intermitent connectivity to Minimserver. I fixed the problem of connectivity by doing the following two things:

1) Editing the Synology Firewall settings to the specific ports
2) Updating the Ipad to the VS 15.2 software.

I spent hours trouble shooting this mess. I hope this helps anyone with these components.
