Use the following guide to define the port or port range:

<: specifies the port numbers less than and equal to the Start Port number

>: specifies the port numbers greater than and equal to the Start Port number

≠: the port number does not equal the Start Port if there is no End Port specified; if an End Port number is specified, this defines a range of ports not to filter. The range is defined as the port numbers between the Start Port and End Port, including the Start and End Port numbers.
