• Last IP: Last known IP used during the last connection
• Static IP: Check this box to identify devices that always use the same IP

• Scan Cycle: Select the scan cycle: 0, 1', 15'
  • Some devices do not respond to all ARP packets, for this cases is better to use a 15' cycle.
  • For Apple devices I recommend using 15' cycle
• Alert All Events: Send a notification in each event (connection, disconnection, IP Changed, ...)
• Alert Down: Send a notification when the device is down
  • (Userful with "always connected" devices: Camera, Alexa,...)
• Skip repeated notifications during: Do not send more than one notification to this device for X hours
  • (Useful to avoid notification saturation on devices that frequently connects and disconnects)

The latest versions of some operating systems (IOS and Android) incorporate a new & interesting functionality to improve privacy: Random MACs.

This functionality allows you to hide the true MAC of the device and assign a random MAC when we connect to WIFI networks.

This behavior is especially useful when connecting to WIFI's that we do not know, but it is totally useless when connecting to our own WIFI's or known networks.

I recommend disabling this operation when connecting our devices to our own WIFI's, in this way, NetAlertX will be able to identify the device, and it will not identify it as a new device every so often (every time IOS or Android decides to change the MAC).
