Ethernet Tab

../../../_images/hubtool_csp_ethernet.png

The Ethernet tab shows network settings for the Ethernet connection. For most setups, we recommend a direct Ethernet link between the host test machine and the USBExt3c. By default, the USB-C-Switch Pro acts as a DHCP client and will receive an IP address from a DHCP server. If no server is detected, the USB-C-Switch Pro falls back to a static IP address of 192.168.44.42. In static mode, the host computer interface IP must be set to an address in the 192.168.44.x range. The DHCP client is limited to hosts on the local link and does not operate across network bridges or gateways.

Host firewall rules must allow:

  • Outgoing UDP multicast on port 9888

  • Incoming UDP responses on port 9889

  • Outgoing TCP connections to port 8000

  • Incoming / Outgoing TCP connections on ports 9005 and 9006

Network Mode - How the IP address is set:

  • None - no network

  • DHCP (default) - receive IP from DHCP server

  • Static, defaults to 192.168.44.42

IPv4 Address - e.g. 192.168.44.42

IPv4 Netmask - 255.255.255.0

IPV4 Gateway -host computer IP

IPv4 DNS - defaults to 208.67.222.222

Mac Address - unique to the specific Switch

Hostname - defaults to “usbcswitchpro-[first 7 digits of hub serial]”

REST Server port - REST port on host
