About CapeFinder

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].

How to use

Download the latest version and run it.

Hint: You need to allow network access to make CapeFinder able to do its work.

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

• Radarcapes must run on firmware version 161030 or newer.
• Your firewall has to allow CapeFinder network access. Add an exception if necessary.

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

Opening the device webpage via DNS does not work

• that happens when you do not have an DNS-Server in your network or it does not work properly. Use the IP method instead.

'n/a' or emtpy MAC-Address

• 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.
