About CapeFinder

CapeFinder is a small and easy to use tool that provides a neat overview of your local Radarcapes. It also shows additional information including IP-Address, Hostname, Software-Version and MAC-Address. You can easily access your Radarcapes webpage with a double click or copy its IP by Pressing Ctrl+C. See 'features' for more.

This is how CapeFinder currently looks like:

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.

You can use the following controls to make your life easier:

• Double click IP-Address: open the selected Radarcape in your default browser. (via its current IP-Address)
• Double click hostname: does the same but uses the hostname. Requires a working DNS-Server and domain configuration.
• Ctrl+C: copy the selected Radarcapes' IP-Address to clipboard.

And the 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: check if an updated version of CapeFinder is available.

Requirements

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

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.
