8 CFIP Discovery Protocol
Discovery Protocol is Layer 3 Network protocol. This feature allows gathering
information from connected CFIP devices. The protocol discovers the IP address and
software version of connected CFIP unit. Discovery protocol uses UDP packets sent on port
78.
Discovery Protocol feature may be useful, when the IP address of connected device
is unknown and there is no possibility to establish connection through serial management port
in order to find out the IP address.
8.1 CFIP Unit Discovery Procedure
In order to discover the IP address and software version of CFIP unit proceed with
the following steps:
-
Connect your PC to CFIP unit through PoE injector
-
Download Discovery Protocol (available from saftehnika.com webpage
„link”
)
-
Open the cmd window on your PC (Go to "Start->Run.." and enter "cmd")
-
Check for the IP address of your PC Ethernet adapter connected to CFIP unit by
executing the command "ipconfig"
-
Navigate to the folder containing previously downloaded and unzipped Discovery
Protocol
using “cd” command
-
Now the necessary Discovery Protocol command can be executed (e.g. "dp sight
<scan_addr>", where <scan_addr> should be substituted by Ethernet adapter IP
address of your PC.)
Discovery Protocol Commands:
Discovery protocol commands
Command
Description
dp sight <local_addr>
Allows to find out the IP address and firmware version of
CFIP unit without knowing the IP subnet.
dp scan <local_addr>
<scan_addr>
This command gathers the information in the specified
subnet. It sends discovery packets to the broadcast address
<scan_addr> and returns the IP address and firmware
version of CFIP unit.
dp remote <local_addr>
<remote_addr>
<scan_addr>
Allows to find out the IP address and firmware version of
CFIP remote unit. This procedure allows bypassing routers as
the response packets are unicast packets.
