Proxy Server Settings; Device Swapping; Adding A Remote Device Using Boost.io - Brainboxes ED-549 Product Manual

Proxy Server Settings

If you have a proxy server enabled on your PC this will restrict access to the web page interface. You may need
to add the ED device to the Proxy Server's exceptions list. If you need help doing this contact your network
administrator.

Device Swapping

In the unlikely event of a device failing, it can be easily replaced by swapping it with a device which has the
same IP address. This is particularly useful when using a large number of ED devices together which have
already been installed and setup and are already communicating with peripherals. The faulty device can be
replaced without having to set up and install a new device. To set the device to the same IP address use the
web page interface or Boost.IO to set the IP address to the static address of the device you are replacing.

Adding a Remote Device Using Boost.IO

1. To access the device through Boost.IO go to Tools and then click 'Add Device Manually'.
2. Enter the public IP address of your router into the Device IP Address field, and the port forwarding
number into the Device Port Number field.
3. Click the 'Next' button.
4. Enter the port forwarding number for Port 1 and then click the 'Add' button. The device will then
appear in the Boost.IO manager window. It can then be installed and used as if it were on a local
network.
