Thanks J pleased you like it. When are your's going to be uploaded ? Looking forward to them 🙂

@@MrTimTech2022 I need time to call the ISP so I can register it on line

@@JasonsLabVideos Ahh I see, understood. Luckily my ISP doesn't tag to MAC addresses.

Hey 'michaelhuijskens7277 - Thanks for the suggestion, good idea. I will have a look in to it. Might be a few weeks to a month away though as I've got a few other things in the pipeline first 🤨

What ports/services are you looking to forward, just so I know what to incorporate in the video ?

Second! beat you to it again, just replied to your other comment ;-)

Thanks James, glad it's been helpful to you😁

These rules are for incomming connections for connecting to the UDM which is being used as a VPN server.

Oi Oi 'J' ahh you're too slow, I beat you to it. In fact I'm just about to drop video #3 in the series shortly! Mind you I will let you off as you've been away I think, hopefully vacation was good! Hopefully you'll get some tips/tricks from my vids then. One thing, save yourself hours and hours of video re-recording and editing so much, don't do your videos blind, test it yourself first, reset the box and then do your setup videos so you've practiced first, as I found out! Really looking forward to seeing your video series too! The more you look in to these GCC boxes the more you find and they are great, it's so easy to get hooked in to the interface, so clean, easy to navigate and very powerful box too!

@@MrTimTech2022 I'm late because i don't want to call my ISP to change my Mac address to get my GCC on line with a proper WAN address :(. They don't have mac clone in the boxes yet :(. I've been playing with mine lots though.

Hey Keiran - Oh gosh I wouldn't know to be honest, maybe a youtube search might find something. I would have thought that it should just unclip from the back and slide down the fibre cable but I can't be 100% sure. Maybe your Fibre provider can relocate it for you. Sorry - not much help 😕

Hey Rik, great stuff, it's always good to have a reset and start a fresh from time to time I think, hopefully with better ideas and improvements along the way. You're welcome, glad it helped!

@Ramhound - Thank you very much, I thought that myself that 🤔Umm I've never seen tips videos🤔so I thought I would start doing some, as and when I spot something that's useful or I've done myself I will upload a video on it, it might be a bit random (not every Tuesday) but I will keep them going as much as I can. Thanks again

Thanks @glennallen958, more on their way very soon!

Thanks Adrian, you're welcome. Yeah good idea for servers etc, if you don't have an Active Directory/DNS internal server(s).

You're very welcome @Tabiii

That's a real shame, I thought they were pretty easy to use, but everyone can't understand everything in life and I certainly do not mean to be rude by saying that. Just a suggestion, have you tried downloading the Yubico Authenticator application (software) and installing it on your PC/Smart Phone/Tablet/Laptop, insert your Yubikey and the software should give you options to save things to it. Fingers crossed you're able to get to grips with them as they are very useful for extra security. Keep me updated👍if you would like to

Thanks for your swift respons!🙏. I don’t understand. I have installed yubico authenticater on my Iphone and my pc microsoft as well. That was no problem. I don’t understand. I work already 20 years with computers but it’s the first time I can’t go on with something. Very weird!( and frustrating..😉). If I only would know somebody in my region ( Belgium) who works with yubikeys but i don’t know anybody. And I have already watched dozens of youtube footage but none of them can help me. I really don’t understand…. I really want to resolve that ( little) problem because I really want to use my yubikeys..

@@toondesmarets3033 You're welcome. In fact you have given me an idea to do a simple guide on how to start using a Yubikey, so if you can hold on for a week or two then there will be a video done, most likely it will be titled ' How To Use A Yubikey - Basic Guide' or something similar, so keep an eye out for that and hopefully all will be revealed - hopefully in a few days but might take me a week or two as I've got a full list of productions to do 😁👍

@@MrTimTech2022 Many thanks Tim! You certainly will help me. I’m looking forward to it! But don’t hurry. Take your time. There is already enough stress in the world..😂. And many 🙏 for your effort!👍🙏

@@toondesmarets3033 Thank you. Sure, much appreciated with your very kind words. Keep a look out, in fact I think it might be useful for a lot of people just deciding to purchase Yubikeys or have just purchased them and don't know how to use them so thanks for the suggested idea!

Were you able to solve it? I have the same issue

Hey @LynnardvanLaak - Thanks so much for your feedback that's great to know. In fact I have more Grandstream videos coming soon! Greetings back to Germany too 🙂

Thanks Chris and you're welcome, glad you are finding my videos useful 😁

Hi, There's some comments here in this thread about copying to another Yubikey. It's best practice to have a 2nd Yubikey in case your 1st one gets lost/stolen/damaged. Yes you copy the HMAC Secret to the 2nd Yubikey which should then give you a duplicate. Follow that when it's generated and then copy and paste to the 2nd Yubikey, then of course test it to make sure it works ok and you're good to go.

Thanks very much Tristan, glad you found this video easy to follow and of course it worked for you. Thanks very much 🙂👍

No problem, you're welcome mate 👍

Thanks Andy, as the Yubikey uses 1 of the 2 HMAC sections on the Yubikey you can still use that along with MFA generation as MFA is stored in a different section of the Yubikey, have a look at this diagram and it will show you where things are stored within a Yubikey - developers.yubico.com/Developer_Program/Guides/yk5features.png There's 2 storage slots as you see, so you can use one of the unused slots to store the generated key for KeePass

Thanks Jason 👍Thought I would do something a little different 🙂

It's wise not to tag traffic on the SFP ports as normally you would want the traffic between the UDM and USW using the SFP+ port to be untagged so that it allows 'ALL' traffic to pass between the router and switch as the UniFi Network Controller on the UDM would not be able to manage devices. Is there a specific reason why you want to do that ?

Yeah It's a good one, well I like it anyway, it's much better than the one I had previously and it was easy to put together too. Anyway to answer your question it's from rackcabinets.co.uk and it's an 'Orion 12U FS Rack Cabinet 600mm x 600mm'. Hope that helps and you're able to purchase from your location.

@tyjonesd - Great thanks for letting me know, glad you found this video helpful. Thanks again and there's more Grandstream videos on their way in due course!

Thank you very much

I suspect you might have missed one of the steps from my video. If you enter the IP address in the internet browser address bar without ':8123' what happens ? If it loads your NAS page then the IP address is correct. If it does not load your NAS page then you might probably have the wrong IP address or maybe a firewall rule is blocking access, maybe you have it in another VLAN. Also check that the Docker Container for Home Assistant has a green dot against it's name to show it's loaded and running.

Thank you 🙂

Ok, so it's actually the wireless mic kit you're using, so you'll want to change what you're doing with the mic, but still, this is fixable in your editor.

I bet it has more to do with the 3.5mm cable not being plugged in all the way.

@@aliencord8259 The cable is plugged in all the way, I did check that each time I am recording.

@@capnjackcanon I agree the audio isn't the best when I use my Rode Wireless Go II. I might invest in a new one. Audio seems better with my Rode Video Mic II which I use when recording videos on the PC screen. Maybe I'm generating static! No seriously I do agree the audio can be improved and I'm on the case, hopefully you can bare with me for a while as it will be resolved. Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it when it's constructive.😄 I've just remembered I did have the air con running when I filmed this and it could be the background hum from that or interference from it. Like I say I will look in to it for sure!

Well that's your opinion, it depends on a personal preference I think and how much of a geek one is. Thanks for your comment anyway.

Hi, thanks for the comment re DAC cable. I have always left my devices with 1 hole space between devices to allow extra air flow, it's just a personal preference I think. I personally prefer spaces betwen and I'm not keen on devices being squashed together. But I appreciate your comment/feedback.

@@MrTimTech2022 You have seen that you have two bigger spaces betweent the holes and then a small space between holes? You suppose to align them correctly. And some devices cool better when stacked together. Internal fans will pull the air through it and the air in that 1-hole space that you keep between it will contain still standing air. No extra cooling there. Lot's of people think that way, but it's a misconception. Thanks again for the DAC.

@@petervandebeek5980 I spotted that the space between UNVR and PDU has 2 slots, that's now been changed (PDU moved up 1), so thanks for spotting that. I know there's a gap at the top between UDM SE and shelf but there's a reason for that - future videos. I see what you're saying about the cooling and spaces between or no spaces between. One day I will test with/without spaces and see what temp readings I get. Thanks for the info though, appreciated !

Yes they are always sold out. I subscribed to the 'In Stock' notifications and as soon as I received the email I had ordered one 3 hours later from the email receipt time.

Broadbandbuyer have a "ears" kit for them alot cheaper. I hear they have a alternative solution that will hold the psu tbc soon.

@@SimonPilling Hey Simon, oh wow thanks for the information, I should have waited. That PSU mount sounds interesting, I will keep a look out for it. Thanks again!

Hey thanks for your comment. Wow that's certainly a good WAN connection speed. Understood re the UDM connections and that you have it connected to the Aggregation. To answer your question it's always best to connect both your UDM and USW both in to the Aggregation so that the Aggregation sort of acts as a junction box. Then your Aggregation can either route traffic to the UDM or USW depending on where it's going to. Hopefully this makes sense. So to conclude it's best not to daisy chain them in a row. Take care!

@@MrTimTech2022 thanks for your answer Tim, i changed now like you said and it works a little bit smoother now, thanks and i keep watching your channel

Hey, thanks for letting me know, glad it's improved things a little. You're welcome & it's a pleasure to have you as new subscriber👍

Have you tried www.grandstream.uk which is for OAK Technology based in the UK or the distributer in the UK is BNS Distribution for a web search. Hopefully this helps!

@@MrTimTech2022 Thanks I am in the USA..

@@be-kind00 Ah sorry didn't realise, however I'm sure their must be a distributer in the US. I found this one if it helps - shop.ntsdirect.com/category/45/Grandstream-Distributor.html

Hey @stramax07 - Thanks very much indeed 😇

Hi @mikesalz, that I'm not sure as I've not tested that, maybe someone here reading these comments might know. Anyone ?

Thanks for the feedback. Thankfully this has never happened to me (yet 😇) but should it ever do then I will certainly put up a video on how to recover from that kind of disaster. Not sure why your's would be bricked, or hopefully it hasn't !

Hey, thanks for the comment. Yeah I try to include them where possible and as many splits as possible so that anyone can jump between sections if they find me talking too much, which I admit sometimes I do lol. Setting up VLANS is coming in the next video in the series, however there's an update to do, so I will do that first so it's on the latest version.

Hey, just thought I would let you know that I've released some more vids in the 'Easy Setup' series for 2024, I've also put them together in the UniFi Network 2024 Setup Series Playlist, so you can also see them there!

You are very welcome, glad you found it helpful.

@ritagraham6703 - Oh wow, so pleased you found my solution and that it's worked for you too. Thanks for the feedback😁

@@MrTimTech2022 I haven’t implemented your instructions but will do so soon. 🙏

You're very welcome, glad you found the video helpful.

Thanks very much 🙂

We all learn, so don't worry. I expect you have a firewall rule preventing the VLAN that Home Assistant is on, from communicating with the VLAN that your camera's are on. They would both have to be on the same VLAN or create a firewall rule to allow 'Inter VLAN traffic'. I have done videos on 'UniFi Firewall Rules' to allow inter VLAN traffic, that may help.

Yes I could, however the DAC cable would still have SFP+ connectors on each end wouldn't it. Plus I have struggled in the past to find a very short DAC cable which looks neat & tidy, I've ended up with excess cable loops with DAC cables, anyone know of very short DAC cable suppliers ?

@@MrTimTech2022 it is SFP+ but it’s passive, meaning less power draw which equals less heat and longer life. Ubiquiti sells a 0.5m for $13(I don’t know the cost there). I’m not saying there is anything wrong with your setup, just that for shorter distances, DAC is the preferred method.

@@John-ml4pr Hey John, yes that's true re power draw & heat. I may well look in to searching for a very short DAC cable, yes I guess that one would do but would be better if I could find one shorter, will certainly have a look around. Thanks for your comment and feedback, appreciated!

@kentish_outdoor2335 - Yes it wasn't up to my usual quality, apologies for this. Hopefully I can improve it on my future vids. So yes I agree and appreciate your constructive comment 😇. I think it was my post editing and maybe interference being next to the cabinet from the wifi mics I used. Will certainly look in to this when on my next recording session!

I guess you're not a fan then 😞? The vids are very popular 😉
