16.6.1 Device discovery

The funkwerk Discovery protocol is used to identify and configure bintec access points that
are in the same wired network as your device. Once an access point has been discovered,
certain basic parameters (node name, IP address, netmask, and device address) can be
configured on the access point (provided you know the administrator password).
Note
Any bintec access points that exist are determined with multicasts. The IP address of
the access point is therefore irrelevant.
Please note that the discovered bintec access points are not stored in the flash, which
means discovery must be repeated after you reboot your device.
In the Local Services -> Funkwerk Discovery -> Device Discovery menu, under Res-
ults a list is shown of all access points found on the network. In the Ethernet interface
field, select the Ethernet interface of your device via which access point discovery is to be
carried out. You use the -All- option to query all Ethernet interfaces.
The current discovery status is displayed for each individual Ethernet interface under Dis-
covery Status. None means that discovery is not active. Discovery is displayed when dis-
covery is currently being carried out.
This discovery function also enables your device to be discovered and configured by other
access points with a discovery function. You configure this in the Options sub-menu.
