2. Why do I need to set up a label for the dongle?

- XProxy software using Label system to identify your physical dongles on panel to easy find it when needed.

- The picture bellow show all modems is labeled and connected to Xproxy system. We use label numbers to manage instead IMEI (hard to identify).

You can see the Label numbers increment one by one. When one dongle undetected or fault, we can easy to know what's label problem.

 

- If you purchase the dongles from our shop, we will label by default for easy, and you will not care or do anything else to get work.

3. Step by step to set up a label for the dongle

- Basically setting up a label of the dongle is to change the default IP address of that dongle. We use the 3rd octet of default gateway of each modem for label.

- Example, the dongle have gateway to access panel is: 192.168.8.1 and we use 8 is Label.

- Each dongles need difference label, then you need change each dongle have difference gateway such:

192.168.10.1
192.168.11.1
192.168.12 .1
192.168.13.1
...
192.168.254.1

- And you need make sure, it's not conflict with your home gateways such:

192.168.1.1
192.168.0.1

- That's why, we recommended label value is 11 to 254 (to avoids conflict with home such label 0 & 1 by common routers).

- Of course, if your home used the difference 3rd octed such 192.168.100.1, you need change label difference the 100 also. 

- If you have multiple systems than one in your home, you are only take care difference label on single system (means can duplicate labels between system, the software only care difference lables on single system only)
