| Only one instance of the plugin is required for as many ControlByWeb devices as you wish to connect. The plugin starts a server and waits for connections from the devices. An example of configuring the device is below. You can point as many devices to the server as you wish. Since XTension is listening there has to be a path for the connection to get to XTension. If connecting from outside on the internet a passthrough will have to be added to your router to let the connection be made. Since the device itself is making an outgoing connection no special configuration is needed at the device location. No router config is necessary at all if XTension and the devices are on the same subnet. While I would still recommend giving your devices a static IP on your network since they talk to XTension and not the other way around it is not strictly necessary. | Only one instance of the plugin is required for as many ControlByWeb devices as you wish to connect.

| + | Do not set the web interface and the Remote Services port to the same number. This will render both unusable and the only way to recover seems to be doing a factory reset. | ||
