SECURITY SETTINGS
Remote Control Password - This allows for a defined password for the web GUI and firmware updates. The default
password is comrex (lowercase).
CONNECTIONS
Unit Name - Users are encouraged to name their codecs here. The default name of a codec is the unique
Switchboard ID (MAC address) of the unit. By changing this to something familiar and unique (e.g. roving reporter,
weather guy, etc.), you will see this name change reflected in several places:
1. In the browser used to show the remote control page;
2. In Comrex-provided utility software such as Remote Control and Device Manager;
3. In Switchboard Traversal Server Buddy lists.
Incoming Connection Password - This allows users to define a password that must be attached to all incoming
connections before they are accepted. Remote units placing outgoing connections to BRIC-Link must know this
password and apply it to the outgoing stream. Leaving the field blank will disable this function. Note: Connections
made with Switchboard do not use this function.
Always Connect to Remote - This field is available to designate a remote for "always on" operation. This is useful in
"nailed up" environments, where a signal is required across the link 24 hours a day. To assign an always on remote,
simply pull down the menu and select which remote to designate as Always On. A connection will be made and
sustained to the chosen remote. Remote connections must be created in the Connections tab before they can be
assigned to this function. Note: This functionality is not supported in Switchboard Connections.
Show Offline Switchboard Units - If enabled, shows offline Switchboard remotes in the remote list.
CONTACT CLOSURES
CC Connect Status - Allows for the activation of contact closure #4 out when connected. If this is selected, the
signal follows the BRIC-Link front panel Ready light, and will be valid (closed) when a valid connection is present
and invalid (open) when no connection is present. The additional options (CC1, CC2, and CC3) allow for assigning
a particular remote that will be connected when its corresponding contact closure is engaged. To assign a remote
connection to a contact closure, simply pull down the menu box next to the desired closure and select the proper
remote. A connection attempt will be made whenever the contact is triggered, and will disconnect whenever the
contact is released.
SWITCHBOARD SERVER
Switchboard Enabled - This option enables the use of Switchboard to connect to remote units. (See Making
Switchboard Connections on BRIC-Link on
Server.)
