5: 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).
