Discovery Commands
Sensors ship with the following default network configuration:
|
Setting |
Default |
|
DHCP |
0 (disabled) |
|
IP Address |
192.168.1.10 |
|
Subnet Mask |
255.255.255.0 |
|
Gateway |
0.0.0.0 (disabled) |
Use the Get Address and Set Address commands to modify a sensor's network configuration. These commands are UDP broadcast messages:
|
Destination Address |
Destination Port |
|
255.255.255.255 |
3220 |
When a sensor accepts a discovery command, it will send a UDP broadcast response:
|
Destination Address |
Destination Port |
|
255.255.255.255 |
Port of command sender. |
The use of UDP broadcasts for discovery enables a client computer to locate a sensor when the senor and client are configured for different subnets. All you need to know is the serial number of the sensor in order to locate it on an IP network.
