21.10.1 Device Discovery
The funkwerk Discovery protocol is used to identify and configure
bintec
devices that are
in the same wired network as your device. Once a
bintec
device has been discovered, cer-
tain basic parameters (node name, IP address, netmask, and device address) can be con-
figured on the access point (provided you know the administrator password).
Note
Any
bintec
devices that exist are determined by means of a multicast. The IP address
of the device is therefore irrelevant.
Please note that the discovered
bintec
devices 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, a list of all dis-
covered access points in the network is displayed under
Results
. In the
Interface
field, se-
lect the interface of your device via which access point discovery is to be carried out. You
use the

option to query all interfaces.
The current discovery status is displayed for each individual interface under Discovery
Status. Here,

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
submenu.
