Enable SSDP Announcements[Bearbeiten]
If enabled, expecco will announce its availability via SSDP multicast messages (also known as UPnP). These announcements are especially useful for:
- the remote control app which runs on a mobile device
- other expeccos to detect possible execution partners
- expeccoALM to detect possible execution slaves
- administrators looking for machines which might have floating lizences allocated
Notice, that SSDP messages are UDP messages which are sent in regular time intervals, and received within your local network (the site), depending on your router/switch and firewall setup.
To reduce traffic in the local network, some (usually bigger) organizations might disable, block or forbid SSDP announcements.
Or their spread may be limited to a subset of your machines (i.e. rooms/departments).
Also, WLAN access points may have to be configured to forward these messages within the segment.
If in doubt, ask your administrator.
For your convenience, expecco includes a monitor window to show incoming SSDP messages ("Extras" → "Debugging" → "Network Diagnose" → "SSDP Monitor").
