Because multiple devices can be connected via Ethernet it is necessary to have a possibility to scan the devices on the network.
Protocol UDP multicast at port is 50913
Protocol UDP SSDP at IP address 239.255.255.250 : port 50000 (for Visualizers which are supporting WolfProt Command List only)
Response time: 30 ms on average
Devices can be discovered by sending out a request by broadcast. The clients then answer with an identification string.
The device discovery protocol works for all WolfVision Visualizers and WolfVision Cameras with network connection.
Broadcast can only be used on the local network.
To get the device information from a device outside the local network it is possible to send the UDP request to a specific IP address.
WolfVision Visualizers with outdated firmware may support reduced protocol functionality only.
this request will be supported by all WolfVision Visualizers which are supporting WolfProt Command List or Protocol 1. note

this request method will be supported by all WolfVision Visualizers which are supporting WolfProt Command List and have latest firmware (since firmware version >1.22a (Visualizer) and >2.00e (EYE-12/SCB-12))
In case you are not sure which firmware version is already installed, use request-version 1 first.
