A separate window for network settings.

Enable UPNP network tools
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of networking protocols that permits networked devices, such as personal computers, printers, Internet gateways, Wi-Fi access points and mobile devices to seamlessly discover each other’s presence on the network and establish functional network services for data sharing, communications, and entertainment.
LUCI STUDIO can use UPNP to set a port-forward rule in your router, and determine more info about your network should there be a problem. The Network information is then displayed in the Network Info field.
NOTE: Not all routers support UPNP by default, make sure it is enabled in your router at least for this computer if you want to use this feature.
Network Info
When UPNP tools is enabled you can see if your router is UPNP capable, your local PC’s IP address, your Global Internet IP address and a complete trace from your PC to the Internet with all network ip translations.
Instance
When having licenses for more than one stream, every instance can be identified by giving it an unique “instance name”. This name can then be shown as the Window title or as a special tag with a group colour. This is also the name shown in the LUCI STUDIO Manager.
The value at “Snap grid on Move” is the number of LUCI STUDIO instances that are displayed on one row when the snap grid is enabled. The windows will “lock” in a grid and move together.
If licensed every LUCI STUDIO instance can be controlled by Ember+. To identify the instance it needs an unique “Ember+ port” number in your network for this instance of Luci Studio. Only if you want to control this Luci Studio from outside your network, it has to be TCP port-forwarded in your router ( see for more details our How To portforwarding but set it for TCP data). You can test this with the “Test Reachability”.
Note: This section is only available with the Ember+ plugin license.
