Description:

This article describes the protocols each LCOS variant uses for reading out the device status or manually adding a device in LANconfig and how the protocol settings can be modified.

The device search always uses the protocol TFTP.


Supported protocols:

LCOS:


LCOS FX:

To read out the system information, the option Prefer 'check' via TFTP (faster) must be active in the device settings as well as in the global settings (default setting).


LCOS LX:

TFTP cannot be deactivated. If TFTP is deselected in the settings, it is automatically selected again by LANconfig.


LCOS SX:

If only SSH is activated, LANconfig automatically uses the protocol HTTPS for communication.


Modifying the protocols in the LANconfig settings:

The used protocols can be globally modified for all devices in LANconfig in the menu Tools → Options → Communication. If protocols are deactivated here, these cannot be used for reading out the device status and manually adding a device anymore.

  • In general, these settings should not be modified, so that all protocols are allowed.
  • The settings don't have any impact on the device search, as it always uses TFTP.
