7 CONVERTER DISCOVERY
In case the IP address and/or web server port is unknown or has been lost, the user can
recover them using the Axiomatic
AxioDisc.exe
Windows console application. The
application uses a proprietary discovery protocol and can recover IP locations of Axiomatic
converters on a LAN. The
AxioDisc.exe
application is available upon request.
The application sends a UDP request to the global IP address
255.255.255.255,
port
35100,
and waits for the responses from converters located on the same local network.
The converter discovery response includes the unit MAC Address, IP Address, web server
port, device port, device port type, the converter part number and serial number, see Figure
31.

AxioDisc.exe
Converter Discovery Application
The user should have a working Wi-Fi connection with the converter, see
Wireless Connection
section. If the user’s laptop is also connected to other IP networks, for example to a LAN over
Ethernet, these other networks should be temporarily disconnected for a reliable discovery of
the Wi-Fi to CAN converter.
The discovery protocol is also supported by the CAN-ENET Software Support Package, p/n
AX140910.
The
AxioDisc.exe
application can run on Windows starting from Win XP SP3. It was tested
on Win XP SP3, Win 7 and Win 10. In case the application cannot find standard dlls, the Visual
C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 x86 must be installed on the user’s computer from
