For the automated discovery of targets on the network, most targets run a small program called the Controllab discovery daemon. The Controllab discovery daemon listens on port 1501 (UDP) for broadcast messages send by 20-sim 4C. When it receives a broadcast message from 20-sim 4C, it will reply with a message containing its IP-address and the target name and description as stored on the target.

Supported Operating Systems

The Controllab Discovery daemon is currently provided for:

•Linux (for testing purposes; non real-time)

•RTAI real-time Linux

•Xenomai real-time Linux

For usage on other operating systems, contact Controllab Products B.V. for the available options.

Connection details

The Controllab Discovery daemon uses port 1501 (TCP) for communication on the TCP/IP network.
