CFIP Discovery Protocol
Discovery Protocol is Layer 3 Network protocol. This feature allows gathering information
from connected CFIP devices. The protocol discovers the IP address and software version of
connected CFIP unit. Discovery protocol uses UDP packets sent on port 78.
Discovery Protocol feature may be useful, when the IP address of connected device is
unknown and there is no possibility to establish connection through serial management port in order
to find out the IP address.

CFIP Unit Discovery Procedure
In order to discover the IP address and software version of CFIP unit proceed with the
following steps:
-
Connect your PC to CFIP unit through PoE injector
-
Download Discovery Protocol (available from saftehnika.com webpage in
„Download
Tools”
section (registration required))
-
Open the cmd window on your PC (Go to "Start->Run.." and enter "cmd")
-
Check for the IP address of your PC Ethernet adapter connected to CFIP unit by executing the
command "ipconfig"
-
Navigate to the folder containing previously downloaded and unzipped Discovery Protocol
using “cd” command
-
Now the necessary Discovery Protocol command can be executed (e.g. "dp sight
<scan_addr>", where <scan_addr> should be substituted by Ethernet adapter IP address of
your PC.)
Discovery Protocol Commands:
Discovery protocol commands
Command
Description
dp sight <local_addr>
Allows to find out the IP address and firmware version of CFIP unit
without knowing the IP subnet.
dp scan <local_addr>
<scan_addr>
This command gathers the information in the specified subnet. It
sends discovery packets to the broadcast address <scan_addr> and
returns the IP address and firmware version of CFIP unit.
dp remote <local_addr>
<remote_addr> <scan_addr>
Allows to find out the IP address and firmware version of CFIP
remote unit. This procedure allows bypassing routers as the
response packets are unicast packets.
