Secondary Dns; Mac Address - videogeniX uSwitch Installation And Operating Manual

This field is used by the uSwitch to resolve outside URLs that may be included in the automatic reboot options or device
firmware whose actual IP addresses are unknown inside the LAN.

Secondary DNS

This secondary DNS (Domain Name Server) is used by the uSwitch to resolve outside URLs that may be included in the
automatic reboot options or device firmware whose actual IP addresses are unknown from the private network just in case
the primary DNS is not available.
Auto Discovery
This checkbox should only be checked if you want to enable auto discovery of a uSwitch on a network. In this mode a
uSwitch periodically announces its presence on the network. To hide the uSwitch or silence it and diminish unnecessary
network traffic this checkbox should be unchecked. The default value is checked.

MAC Address

This is the physical address permanently assigned a given uSwitch. It cannot be modified however it can be used to
verify which LAN IP address is connected to which uSwitch by executing either an arp -a command (from a windows
computer), or when running the uSwitch discovery utility.
To access a uSwitch remotely from an outside network, WAN or the internet you will need to set up port forwarding (also
called NAT or Virtual Port addressing) on your router or gateway. You can set this up from your router's configuration
page as follows:
1. Assign a specific and unique port to each uSwitch from the Network Configuration page of the uSwitch
2. Find the Port Forwarding/Virtual Server/NAT configuration in your router and specify the unique port number
assigned to each
3. If you are on a static IP line you may use a 3rd Party free DDNS provider to register a Domain Name for your
Router (URL). Map your router to the free DDNS provider.
4. If the address assigned to your router by your ISP is dynamic (changes regularly) than you will need to set up the
dynamic DNS page of your router to map the URL to a Dynamic IP Name Server (consult your router's user
configuration manual).
5. Browse to your USwitch using the following protocol from a browser;
