## Phidget Common.lvlib:PhidgetEnableServerDiscovery.vi

Enables the dynamic discovery of servers that publish their identity to the network. Currently Multicast DNS is used to discover and publish Phidget servers.

To connect to remote Phidgets, call this function with server type DEVICEREMOTE.

${METHOD:enableServerDiscovery} must be called once for each server type your program requires. Multiple calls for the same server type are ignored

This call will fail with the error code EPHIDGET_UNSUPPORTED if your computer does not have the required mDNS support. We recommend using Bonjour Print Services on Windows and Mac, or Avahi on Linux.

See:

- ${METHOD:disableServerDiscovery}
- ${METHOD:addServer}
