Alterna ve methods for device detec on
The Lyve Client app relies on the Service Location Protocol (SLP) to discover Lyve Mobile devices on the
network. If your company's IT policies prevent SLP network broadcasting, you can use other methods for
detecting the device in Lyve Client.
Method 1: Direct connec on
Lyve Client can auto-detect the Lyve Mobile Array if the computer is connected directly to Lyve Mobile
Rackmount Receiver.
1. Connect the computer directly to the appropriate Ethernet management port on the back of Rackmount
Receiver. Use the Ethernet port that matches the slot with the Lyve Mobile Array.
2. On the host computer, open the Lyve Client app.
3. Click on the Devices tab to see the detected device.
Method 2: Add device manually
To manually add the device in Lyve Client, you'll need to do the following:
1. Obtain the device connection details using a network scanning tool. See one of the following below:
Obtain device connection details with OpenSLP
Obtain device connection details with arp
2. Manually add the device.
See Add the device in Lyve Client below.
Obtain device connec on details with OpenSLP
Note: Installing and running OpenSLP requires administrative rights for the host computer.
1. Install OpenSLP from http://www.openslp.org/ (Mac or Windows). The slptool command is only available
with a custom install and selecting the "test tools" option. (Alternatively, you can download the source
code and build the tools.)
2. Run the following command:
slptool findattrs service:ui:ssh
