5 Using Static IP Addresses with ZapperBox
If you are using a wired ethernet connection and need to use a static IP address, this can be configured through "Wi-Fi
Setup" under the Settings menu. In the Network & Internet menu, navigate to "IP settings" at the bottom of the page, and
you can enter a static IP address or choose to use DHCP.
6 Connecting to Wi-Fi
If you are connecting to the Internet via Wi-Fi, do not connect the ZapperBox to the wired Ethernet network. If the
Ethernet cable is plugged in when attempting to connect to the Wi-Fi, the ZapperBox will attempt to connect, then display
an error that the Wi-Fi network connection attempt failed.
7 Remote Access & Privacy
During normal operation the ZapperBox stores diagnostics logs in its memory. These logs are not uploaded to any remote
server and kept internal to the ZapperBox’s memory. They are continually overwritten with new logs. If we need to
diagnose an issue that you report using the “My Account” section of our website, we may ask you to upload the
diagnostic logs on your device. This can be done by selecting the “Diagnostics” option under the “Settings” Menu.
For further support, we may ask you to enable the “Remote Access” feature, using the settings menu. Whenever one of
our support personnel accesses the diagnostic utility on your box using the Internet, a “Remote Access Active” advisory
will be shown on the screen.
We do not share or sell any information that gets uploaded to our servers for the purpose of diagnosing support issues.
We have not yet come up with a policy for how long to store such information. Historical diagnostics are sometimes
useful to debug ongoing issues.
