Zero Configuration Networking
ZCN On/Off
These radio buttons toggle Zero Configuration Networking on this device (default = On).
Note
: It is recommended that ZCN remain "On", to allow this device to appear online
when using zero-configuration networking tools. These tools enable automatic discovery
of computers, devices, and services on IP networks.
• In order for Zero Configuration Networking to work, the Metreau Entry Communicator
must be on the same subnet as the PC or laptop running the zero-configuration
networking tool used to identify the unit.
• In the zero-configuration networking tool, the Host Name used to identify the Metreau
Entry Communicator must be appended with ".local" suffix (i.e. "MET_ECOM.local").
