Advanced settings are shown. Wrong values here can stop the scanbox finding devices, or get its switch port blocked. The defaults suit most sites.
The scanbox updates itself on a 10-minute timer. Update now makes it update at its next check-in (about 15 seconds) instead.
The scanbox's own web interface, opened in its remote browser. Its certificate is self-signed, so the browser warns first: choose Advanced, then Proceed. It asks for the scanbox's own login.
Each VLAN the scanbox hears on its trunk gets its own interface, so it can reach and scan the devices there directly. Ignore removes that interface and stops reporting devices seen on it; Hide only leaves the VLAN off the scanbox page's VLAN tabs, its devices still listed under All VLANs; IP gives the interface a fixed address instead of DHCP. Changes reach the scanbox at its next check-in (about 15 seconds) and show as pending until it confirms. Which VLANs the background scan covers is set under Background scan → Networks.
| VLAN | Name | Interface | Address | Ignore | Hide | IP | State |

Factory resets the scanbox at its next check-in (about 15 seconds): its registration, VLANs and everything it has found are wiped; its network settings and local admin password are kept. It then disappears from the dashboard along with all its discovered hosts and their history. To use it again, register it again. Remove without reset is for a scanbox that is gone or broken and will never check in.
New accounts have no password: generate a setup code for them, and they enter it under Create one on the sign-in page to choose their own. A code works once, for 72 hours.

Changing it signs you out on every other device.
The browsers you've signed in from, this one first. A trusted one skips the 2FA code. Block a browser you don't recognise: its sessions end now and it can't sign in until you unblock it. Then change your password.
