2. Select Developer Mode.
   

   NOTE | You may need to download the Developer Mode from Windows Update. You’ll get notified when the installation gets completed.

3. Enable the Device Portal. If the Device Portal switch returns automatically to an “off” state, please restart your PC and retry.
4. Disable the authentication and confirm
5. Take note of the IP address, especially the port number. if you’ve 192.168.1.100:50080, 50080 is the port number
6. Open Device Diagnostics HUB.
   • If Device Diagnostics HUB is running within the same PC:
     1. Go to the Device Portal Configuration section
     2. Select Connect to this device with a customized port number(the second option) and set the port number (if the ip is 192.168.1.100:50080, you’ve to write 50080)
     3. Press Try to connect
   • If Device Diagnostics HUB is running within another device
     1. Go to the Device Portal Configuration section

Windows 10 Mobile

1. Go to Windows Settings > Update & Security > For developers
2. Select Developer Mode
3. Enable the Device Portal. You can choose to enable or disable the authentication.
4. If authentication is OFF (This is the adviced option!)
   
   • Every function is ready to use
   • You’ll have to follow the configuration process only once
   • Is less secure only within public WiFi networks. I advice you to disable the Device Portal and don’t enable the authentication.

5. If authentication is ON
   • You’ll need to get a passcode to log in the Device Portal.
   • Nobody can access these informations from another device without permission.
   • The configuration is pretty difficult and you may need to do the configuration process multiple times!
   • You need a new passcode everytime you’ll close the app.
   • Some data will refresh less frequently and some functions will not work!
   • Meant for developers, power users and public WiFi areas
