18 Tips and Tricks
18.1 Ident Number lookup
It is possible to check if ComBricks has info on a certain Ident Number (located in gsd.bin):
[ComBricks IP or DNS address]/data_srv.cgi?data=gsdinfo:0x[Ident Number]
Example: http://192.168.1.230/data_srv.cgi?data=gsdinfo:0x6012
It should display a line comparable with this:
ABB%20Drives%20NPBA%2D12%1FABB%2DDRIVES%1F40%1F8%1FNPBA%2D12%.....
18.2 Solution for secured email connections
Because ComBricks can only handle unsecured email connections, a proxy between ComBricks email and
outgoing email could be helpful. hMailserver is a free tool that creates a mail server on one of the local PCs in
the network. ComBricks can mail the events to this mailserver and the mailserver can forward it through a
secured connection to an external mailserver.

18.3 IP address adjustment tool
Every time you go 1-on-1 with a laptop to a ComBricks unit, the IP settings of your laptop have to be adjusted
to fit the local IP address of the ComBricks. To make this step very easy a tool is available with the name
NetSetMan to automatically change all the settings according to customized profiles.

18.4 Free Wi-Fi channel detector
For ComBricks streaming with the ProfiTrace 2 software over Wi-Fi, a clean connection is required to keep the
streaming performance as high as possible. To verify that your Wi-Fi does not overlap with other channels, we
recommend to use the free tool inSSIDer.
