==About CapeFinder==
To check a download, compare its checksum with the table: on Windows <code>certutil -hashfile capefinder-3.0.0-windows-amd64.exe SHA256</code>, on Linux <code>sha256sum capefinder_3.0.0_amd64.deb</code>.
[[File:CapeFinder1.png|300px|thumb|right|CapeFinder on Windows]]
CapeFinder is a small tool for detecting Jetvision Receivers in your local network environment. It shows additional information including IP-Address, Hostname, Software-Version and MAC-Address. You can easily access your Receivers webpage or copy its current IP-Address. See 'features' for more.


Do you have some great ideas or would like to have additional functionality? Feel free to contact me at [email protected].


==About CapeFinder==
[[File:Capefinder3 screenshot.png|350px|thumb|right|CapeFinder on Windows]]
CapeFinder finds the Jetvision receivers (Radarcape and Air!Squitter) in your local network and shows their type, IP address, hostname, software version and MAC address.


==How to use==
* Start CapeFinder and allow network access when Windows asks. Your receivers appear within a few seconds.
 
* Double-click a receiver to open its web page (in the ''Hostname'' column: via its name).
Download the latest version and run it.
* Ctrl+C copies the IP addresses, Ctrl+M the MAC addresses of the ticked receivers.
 
* F5 searches again, e.g. after the PC woke up from sleep.
Hint: You need to allow network access to make CapeFinder able to do its work.
* Problems? Menu ☰ → ''Support information …'' creates a text file. Please send it to [email protected].
 
 
==Features==
 
CapeFinder automatically detects your network configuration and finds connected Radarcapes.
 
Standard controls:
 
* Double click IP-Address: open selected Radarcape in default browser. (via its current IP-Address)
* Double click hostname: does the same but uses the hostname. '''Requires a working DNS-Server'''.
* Ctrl+C: copy selected Radarcapes' IP-Address to clipboard.
* Click column names: sort all entries. Click twice to sort in reverse order.
 
Advanced controls:
 
* F5: manually trigger the automatic scanning.
* F6: re-scan local network adapters. Use that if you connect a new adapter during runtime.
* F7: manually check for update
* Double click console message: copy all messages to clipboard.




==Requirements==
==Requirements==
 
* Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), or 64-bit Linux with a graphical desktop (Debian 10, Ubuntu 18.10 or newer).
* Radarcapes must run on firmware version 161030 or newer.
* Radarcape firmware 161030 or newer.
* Your firewall has to allow CapeFinder network access. Add an exception if necessary.
* The firewall must allow UDP port 15192. Only receivers in the same network as the PC are found (not across routers or VPN).
 
 
==Technical Limitations==
 
Note: If you do not know what this is about you probably can just proceed to downloads.
 
* Only radarcapes within the same subnets as your PC can be found.
* CapeFinder does not support IPv6 for now.
* All involved network knots have to allow multicast messages. That includes for example Router, WLAN-Repeater, Access-Points, Network-Bridges and VPN-Connections.




==Known Issues==
==Known Issues==
 
Windows shows "Windows protected your PC"
Opening the device webpage via DNS does not work
* CapeFinder is not signed, so SmartScreen warns on the first start. Click ''More info'', then ''Run anyway''.
* that happens when you do not have an DNS-Server in your network or it does not work properly. Use the IP method instead.
* With Smart App Control switched on, Windows 11 may block CapeFinder.
'n/a' or emtpy MAC-Address
: '''For IT departments:''' to allow CapeFinder in application control, use the SHA-256 checksum from the [[#Downloads|download table]]. It changes with every version.
* some older software combinations (Linux and RC-Firmware) do not support gathering the MAC yet. This should be gone after updating both.
Uptime or Temperature fields are empty
* some devices or software configurations do not support these two values yet. You could try to update your device.

About CapeFinder

CapeFinder on Windows

CapeFinder finds the Jetvision receivers (Radarcape and Air!Squitter) in your local network and shows their type, IP address, hostname, software version and MAC address.

  • Start CapeFinder and allow network access when Windows asks. Your receivers appear within a few seconds.
  • Double-click a receiver to open its web page (in the Hostname column: via its name).
  • Ctrl+C copies the IP addresses, Ctrl+M the MAC addresses of the ticked receivers.
  • F5 searches again, e.g. after the PC woke up from sleep.
  • Problems? Menu ☰ → Support information … creates a text file. Please send it to [email protected].

  • Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), or 64-bit Linux with a graphical desktop (Debian 10, Ubuntu 18.10 or newer).
  • Radarcape firmware 161030 or newer.
  • The firewall must allow UDP port 15192. Only receivers in the same network as the PC are found (not across routers or VPN).


Known Issues

Windows shows "Windows protected your PC"

  • CapeFinder is not signed, so SmartScreen warns on the first start. Click More info, then Run anyway.
  • With Smart App Control switched on, Windows 11 may block CapeFinder.
For IT departments: to allow CapeFinder in application control, use the SHA-256 checksum from the download table. It changes with every version.
