I confirm what Mark said. To listen for broadcasts, you do need to put in a localport, something like:

drvAsynIPPortConfigure("BD","255.255.255.255:3957:3956 UDP*",0,0,0)

BTW, the device this is to be used for is a Oxford Cryosystems CS800 which has an Ethernet port (obviously) as well as the serial port that their 700 series devices have.

I realized that there is no requirement that the “port” and “localPort” in the drvAsynIPPortConfigure command be the same. “port” is the port that asyn will send broadcast messages on, localPort is the port that it will listen for broadcast messages on.

I just tried this, the send port is is 3957, the receive port is 3956. It should listen for broadcast messages on port 3956 and send 3 broadcast messages on port 3957.

This is part of the capture from tcpdump.

This is the packet received from 164.54.160.118 at 14:43:49.681 reported above. This proves it is listening on port 3956 correctly.

These are the 3 broadcast messages that asyn sent on port 3957, which is the officially registered port for the mqe-broker. The message contents are test1, test2, test3 as expected.

I will update the asyn documentation to note that “port” and “localport” can be different for UDP broadcasts,

Subject: RE: drvAsynIPPort Not receiving broadcast UDP [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hi Terry,

I just verified that my suggestion works. This is from my startup script:

drvAsynIPPortConfigure("BD","255.255.255.255:3956:3956 UDP",0,0,0)

asynSetTraceIOMask("BD", 0, 2)

asynSetTraceMask("BD", 0, 9)

iocInit

asynOctetConnect BD1 BD 0 10 200 #address 0, timeout of 10 sec, buffer 200

asynOctetRead BD1 100

So I am listening for broadcasts on port 3956, which is the GigeVision Control Port (gvcp).

When I run the IOC I see the following:

drvAsynIPPortConfigure("BD","255.255.255.255:3956:3956 UDP",0,0,0)

asynSetTraceIOMask("BD", 0, 2)

asynSetTraceMask("BD", 0, 9)

So I am correctly seeing the broadcast messages from a number of machines on that port.

I reproduced your result that it does not work if I omit the localPort parameter in the drvAsynIPPort command.

I verified that it works with either UDP or UDP* in the drvAsynIPPort configure command.

I will update the documentation to say that the localPort parameter is required to receive UDP broadcasts.

Subject: Re: drvAsynIPPort Not receiving broadcast UDP [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hi Terry,

I just looked at the code for drvAsynIPPort. It only calls bind() if you specify the localPort in your hostInfo string. So I think this should be

drvAsynIPPortConfigure("CRYOREAD01","255.255.255.255:30304:30304 UDP*",0,0,0)

I think you maybe should use UPD and not UDP*. UDP* is meant for sending broadcasts, not receiving them.

I am not sure anyone has used drvAsynIPPort for receiving broadcasts, only for sending them. Please give the above a try and if it does not work I will fix the driver.

Subject: drvAsynIPPort Not receiving broadcast UDP [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hi All.

I have a device that sends its status as a UDP broadcast with port 30304 and I’d like to use asynIP to get it but can’t get it working using simple interactive commands in EPICS iocsh.

I have successfully tested the server and host in question using a little python socket program, essentially:

########### start PYTHON CODE###############

broadcastIP = '255.255.255.255' #note that 10.6.255.255 doesn’t work, though I expected it to…

idBroadcast = (broadcastIP,30304)

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, socket.IPPROTO_UDP)

s.bind(idBroadcast)

m, reportedAddress = s.recvfrom(bufMax) #m gets the data and reportedAddress indicates where it was broadcast from

################END PYTHON CODE######################

and it works, gets the status every second. So no firewalls getting in the way and the port number is OK and status is being broadcast every second as expected.

Trying to use asynIP in EPICS, I do the following to test, using asynDriver release 4.34:

#########start EPICS IOCSH commands############

drvAsynIPPortConfigure("CRYOREAD01","255.255.255.255:30304 UDP*",0,0,0) #Have also tried the specific subnet broadcast 10.6.0.255 and 10.6.255.255 with no luck

…… #no errors reported

iocInit()

asynSetTraceMask ("CRYOREAD01",-1,0xFF)

asynSetTraceIOMask("CRYOREAD01",-1,0xFF)

…..#no errors reported

#Then ran the following interactively

epics> asynOctetConnect CR CRYOREAD01 0 10 200 #address 0, timeout of 10 sec, buffer 200

2019/03/18 15:10:27.369 CRYOREAD01 asynManager::queueUnlockPort waiting for event

2019/03/18 15:10:27.369 CRYOREAD01 queueUnlockPort unlock mutex 0x18318c0 complete.

2019/03/18 15:10:27.369 Error reading, ninp=0 error 255.255.255.255:30304 UDP* timeout: Resource temporarily unavailable

and it always timesout with nothing received.

I also tried asynReport 4 CRYOREAD01 and got the following. Somewhat suspicious of nDevices=0 but this might be ok for a nonMultiDevice?

CRYOREAD01 multiDevice:No canBlock:Yes autoConnect:Yes

enabled:Yes connected:Yes numberConnects 1

nDevices 0 nQueued 0 blocked:No

asynManagerLock:No synchronousLock:No

Can anyone suggest why this isn’t working or what I should do to better test it? (I did see comment in techtalk about UDP broadcast issues, but I think they were for versions older than the one I am using)

Thanks,

Terry
