Discoverer Example

A CLI client for discovering KNX/netIP servers on the network.

Discoverer shows how to implement and start a discovery agent that discovers KNX/netIP servers on the network.

用法

Below are the parameters that the client allows.

Usage: ./discoverer [options]
Options:
  -h, --help                         Displays this help.
  -t, --timeout <timeout>            Discovery response timeout in seconds.

                                     family in at least the given version (e.g.
                                     0202). Implies search mode extended or

                                     of IDs (e.g. 010208). Implies search mode
                                     extended or both.
					

By default the client uses the default network interface determined by the Operating System if no local IP address given. However, if an IP is given, the client will use the interface attached to that IP.

The following lines show a few examples of how to use the client:

./discoverer -m extended -a 127.0.0.1 -p 5543
Device used to send the search request:
  Network interface: lo, address: 127.0.0.1, port: 5543
No server(s) found on the network.
					

The command above uses the loopback interface. No KNX servers are available on this interface and therefore none are showed.

./discoverer -m extended
Device used to send the search request:
  Network interface: Unknown, address: 0.0.0.0, port: 0
1 server(s) found on the network.
  Server: IPR/S3.5.1 IP Router,MDRC
      Individual address: 1.1.0
      Server control endpoint: 10.9.78.33:3671
    Supported services:
      KNXnet/IP Core, Version: 2
      KNXnet/IP Device Management, Version: 2
      KNXnet/IP Tunnel, Version: 2
      KNXnet/IP Routing, Version: 2
      KNXnet/IP Remote Configuration, Version: 1
      KNXnet/IP Security, Version: 1
    Extended hardware information:
      Mask version: 091a
      Max. local APDU length: 254
      Medium status: Communication possible
					

Unlike the previous command example, this one uses the default network interface determined by the OS and shows that there is one KNX server on the network with 10.9.78.33 and listening on port 3671. The searchMode parameter refers to the KNXnet/IP Core version used. The extended mode indicates version 2 and can make use of extended search parameters.

    ./discoverer -m extended --filterService 0202
Device used to send the search request:
  Network interface: Unknown, address: 0.0.0.0, port: 0
1 server(s) found on the network.
  Server: IPR/S3.5.1 IP Router,MDRC
      Individual address: 1.1.0
      Server control endpoint: 10.9.78.33:3671
    Supported services:
      KNXnet/IP Core, Version: 2
      KNXnet/IP Device Management, Version: 2
      KNXnet/IP Tunnel, Version: 2
      KNXnet/IP Routing, Version: 2
      KNXnet/IP Remote Configuration, Version: 1
      KNXnet/IP Security, Version: 1
    Extended hardware information:
      Mask version: 091a
      Max. local APDU length: 254
      Medium status: Communication possible
					

The above command makes use of the extended search parameters available only in KNXnet/IP Core version 2. It limits the search responses to devices supporting the given KNXnet/IP service family 02 and in at least the given version 02.

In a network with two KNX routers, one of them only supporting KNXnet/IP Core Version 1, the output showed by the client with the default searchMode parameter set would be as follows:

./discoverer -m default
Device used to send the search request:
  Network interface: Unknown, address: 0.0.0.0, port: 0
2 server(s) found on the network.
  Server: IPR/S3.5.1 IP Router,MDRC
      Individual address: 1.1.0
      Server control endpoint: 10.9.78.33:3671
    Supported services:
      KNXnet/IP Core, Version: 2
      KNXnet/IP Device Management, Version: 2
      KNXnet/IP Tunnel, Version: 2
      KNXnet/IP Routing, Version: 2
      KNXnet/IP Remote Configuration, Version: 1
  Server: IPS/S3.1.1 IP-Schnittstelle,RE
      Individual address: 1.1.250
      Server control endpoint: 10.9.78.81:3671
    Supported services:
      KNXnet/IP Core, Version: 1
      KNXnet/IP Device Management, Version: 1
      KNXnet/IP Tunnel, Version: 1
      KNXnet/IP Remote Configuration, Version: 1
					
					

实现

The client delegates all the implementation of the KNX discovery to a QKnxNetIpServerDiscoveryAgent 实例。

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    ...
    QKnxNetIpServerDiscoveryAgent agent;
					

The discovery agent is started here:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    ...
    QKnxNetIpServerDiscoveryAgent agent;
    ...
    QObject::connect(&agent, &QKnxNetIpServerDiscoveryAgent::finished, &discoverer,
        &QCoreApplication::quit);
    if (!parser.isSet("localAddress")) {
        agent.start(QKnxNetIpServerDiscoveryAgent::InterfaceType::Ethernet
            | QKnxNetIpServerDiscoveryAgent::InterfaceType::Wifi);
    } else {
        agent.start(QVector<QHostAddress> { agent.localAddress() });
    }
    if (agent.error() == QKnxNetIpServerDiscoveryAgent::Error::None
        && agent.state() == QKnxNetIpServerDiscoveryAgent::State::Running) {
            discoverer.exec();
    ...
}
					

When the agent finishes discovering the servers, the main function of the client is resumed. The above code snippet shows how the QKnxNetIpServerDiscoveryAgent::finished () signal triggers a call to QCoreApplication::quit (). The client execution then keeps going after the QCoreApplication::exec ().

Finally, we recover a list of servers and output the information found:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    ...
    if (agent.error() == QKnxNetIpServerDiscoveryAgent::Error::None
        && agent.state() == QKnxNetIpServerDiscoveryAgent::State::Running) {
            discoverer.exec();
    }
    const auto servers = agent.discoveredServers();
    if (servers.size() > 0) {
        qInfo().noquote() << Qt::endl << QString::fromLatin1("%1 server(s) found on the network.")
            .arg(servers.size());
        for (auto server : servers) {
            qInfo().noquote() << QString::fromLatin1("  Network interface: %1, address: %2")
                .arg(server.networkInterface().humanReadableName(), server.hostAddress().toString());
            qInfo().noquote() << QString::fromLatin1("  Server: %1").arg(server.deviceName());
            qInfo().noquote() << QString::fromLatin1("      Individual address: %1").arg(server
                .individualAddress().toString());
            qInfo().noquote() << QString::fromLatin1("      Server control endpoint: %1:%2")
                .arg(server.controlEndpointAddress().toString()).arg(server.controlEndpointPort());
            const auto services = server.supportedServices();
            qInfo().noquote() << QString::fromLatin1("    Supported services:");
            for (const auto service : services) {
                qInfo().noquote() << QString::fromLatin1("      KNXnet/IP %1, Version: %2")
                    .arg(familyToString(service.ServiceFamily)).arg(service.ServiceFamilyVersion);
            }
            const auto dib = server.extendedHardware();
            QKnxNetIpExtendedDeviceDibProxy hardware(dib);
            if (hardware.isValid()) {
                qInfo() << "    Extended hardware information:";
                qInfo().noquote() << QString::fromLatin1("      Mask version: %1").arg(hardware
                    .deviceDescriptorType0(), 4, 16, QLatin1Char('0'));
                qInfo().noquote() << QString::fromLatin1("      Max. local APDU length: %1")
                    .arg(hardware.maximumLocalApduLength());
                auto status = server.mediumStatus();
                if (status == QKnx::MediumStatus::CommunicationPossible)
                    qInfo() << "      Medium status: Communication possible";
                else if (status == QKnx::MediumStatus::CommunicationImpossible)
                    qInfo() << "      Medium status: Communication impossible";
                else
                    qInfo() << "      Medium status: Unknown";
            }
            qInfo() << "";
        }
    } else {
        qInfo().noquote() << "No server(s) found on the network.";
    }
    return 0;
}
