Changing the UBox's Settings
Discovery Mode
Select the method the UBox should use to send its UDP
data.
Broadcast: By default, the UBox uses this method to
send discover messages to UBox clients. Broadcast
sends UDP messages to every Ethernet-connected device
on your network. This is the best setting to use on small
networks, home networks, and networks where you have
computers with multiple network interfaces (for example, a
computer with both wireless and wired connections).
Multicast: Sends UDP messages using Multicast UDP.
This method only sends discover messages to computers
that listen to the same multicast address that the UBox
uses.
Multicast & Broadcast Uses both methods at the same
time.
Note: If you change the UBox’s multicast address, you
must tell the UBox software to listen to the new address.
You only need to change the multicast address if you are
using Multicast or Multicast & Broadcast as your
discovery method. (See Changing Local Software Settings
on page 44.)
Multicast Address
The address on which the UBox will send discover
messages. You can enter any multicast address a long as
it is in the range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Default
is 239.255.176.42.
Note: You would only change this if the default changes,
for example, if you have a router that needs a different
multicast address to properly route traffic across a
LAN/WAN.
Editing Server Settings: USB Device Configuration Tab
The USB Device Configuration tab on the Edit Server Configuration window shows
USB devices that are connected to the UBox and configuration records for each
device. On this tab, you make changes to USB devices connected to your UBox. You
can configure:
A USB device to require a password before you can access the device.
A USB device to be dedicated to a certain computer so that the USB device
is always connected to that computer.
The name displayed for a particular USB device (useful if you have multiple
USB devices that do not register a name, or if you have multiple identical
USB devices).
