for Ethernet devices

Thanks to the VPN tunnel, you can set the application driver to map the local IP
address of the target equipment just as if you would have a local point-to-point
connection.
Don’t use the auto-detection or auto-browse mechanism of your software.

Reset Password. You’ll get an email with a temporary (2 hours) link allowing you to set a new password.

 eCatcher Connection Settings

1. The eCatcher connection settings can be accessed from the Settings link on the login
page.
2. By default, eCatcher is configured in Auto-Detect mode. This means that eCatcher will
first try to establish the VPN connection in UDP mode and, if this does not work, it will
automatically fallback in TCP mode. Alternatively, you can force eCatcher to use only
one of the modes.
3. If you need to encode a Proxy Server for the Internet connection, then you must
configure the proxy settings here.
