CA 2666486

A device finder locates devices connected to a network that do not have a network address assigned to them by sending a broadcast message to all connected devices independent of network address. The broadcast message requests identification information from each device. The devices on the network, including any devices that do not have a network address, send a broadcast message in response that includes device identification information. Once the identification information has been received, a network address can be assigned to the device.

L'invention concerne un localisateur de dispositif qui localise des dispositifs connectés à un réseau qui n'ont pas d'adresse réseau attribuée à ceux-ci en envoyant un message de diffusion à tous les dispositifs connectés indépendants d'une adresse réseau. Le message de diffusion demande des informations d'identification à chaque dispositif. Les dispositifs sur le réseau, y compris de quelconques dispositifs qui n'ont pas d'adresse réseau, envoient un message de diffusion en réponse, comprenant des informations d'identification de dispositif. Une fois que les informations d'identification ont été reçues, une adresse réseau peut être attribuée au dispositif.
