For Windows, this free software is recommended: UPnP Wizard - <a href="https://www.xldevelopment.net/upnpwiz.php" target="_blank">https://www.xldevelopment.net/upnpwiz.php</a> MAC & iOS users can find UPnP tools on the app store.

If you need to update the LB.conf configuration notecard in your tip jars, the best way to do so is by rezzing the included <img src="LvBr.png"></img> Config Updater. You can update the config notecard as needed, then the updater will send it automatically to all of your tip jars with the plugin installed. The updater has a range of 30 meters. If a tip jar is not receiving updates, move the updater closer. The plugin supports customized payment thresholds, vibration levels, hover text, and vibration time in seconds. To add a custom level to your tip jar, enter each one on a new line, arranged from lowest tip amount to highest. The format for each level is: L$ amount, vibration level (0-20), level text, seconds <div class="format"><img src="LBconfnc.png"></img></div> It is highly recommended to simply edit the existing levels already set within the notecard if you're not sure what you're doing!
